You are doing the right thing in asking...
There are many questions. Biggest is not best. Practicality must rule your choice. A large automated motor driven with 'go-to' might be just what you think you want... Unfortunately these larger scopes are not easily transported and can be troublesome to set up. I would advise you to find a local astronomy group and go visit them at a star party. You need to be familiar with what is available and what compromise you are willing to take.
Just starting out in astronomy? then a 10x80 pair of Bino's would be a great starting point. Some clear sky and the time to view... welcome
