each has its strengths and weaknesses, but the one piece of advice i'll give you is if you plan on EQ mounting it later you need to get a solid tube dob like a skywatcher or GSO rather than a truss like the meades lightbridge.
I have a 8" GSO. used to be dob mounted, now its on a heq5. I have linked the controller to a laptop computer and i can controll the goto from there
