I have used all, and while the refractor is really nice, what annoys me is the cost.
As an example I recently sold a new 4" refractor, that is 100mm f8. Make a note of those numbers folks.
I replaced it with a Newtonian 8" f4, so the same image scale, but a significant speed advantage. Biggest gain was to the bulge of my wallet.
Better? Dunno, but I am happy. As our American friends will quote though, YMMV.
