Hi and welcome to IceInSpace!
Sounds like you're on the right track. For what you describe, an 8" dob would be perfect for you. You can add an ArgoNavis later on to help you find objects easier, and you can add an EQ6 mount later for photography as well.
I'm not a fan of EQ mounted newts for visual observing, but for photography they're absolutely great!
Is the lightbridge better than the solid tube? It really depends on the individual. If you plan to travel with it, the lightbridge breaks down a bit smaller and might be easier to fit in the car. But if you want to do photography and put it on an EQ mount, then you can't do that with a lightbridge and you'd need the solid tube version.
Keep asking questions!
