Personally, for your situation i would go for an 8 inch dob over a 10 because your thinking long term. if your planning to eventually mount your dob on an EQ mount (before upgrading to a new ota (mak, ed80, or watever u decide)) then it might be worth considering the cost of the mount needed for each dobs. Basically you will need a HEQ5 for an 8 inch dob, and an EQ6 for a 10. The price difference between these two mounts is around the 1k mark. You've also got to consider the weight of your next ota, as you need mount capable of handling it.
