Here's my experience...
I began with a 10" GSO Dob, later bought an EQ6 mount and put the Dob optical tube on the EQ6. I have set it up in a way that I can go back to to Dob base for short sessions and on the GEM whan I have more time. Recently I got an Argo Navis.
I've taken some webcam pics of Jupiter, Saturn and the Moon on the dob mount but it's a lot easier on the tracking mount.
Viewing through the Dob is most comfortable sitting on a stool that's a bit higher than a regular chair - I got one of the 3 legged varieties from a camping store that is a good height for most eyepiece positions.
With the EQ6 the eyepiece can be quite high (with minimum tripod leg extension) and you end up using a small step ladder to get to the eyepiece some times.
