OK, my experience, for what it's worth is get the biggest dobsonion you can afford. You can pick up an 8" dob for $700 - $800 whic leaves a few $ for accessories. To get seriously in to imaging will take a fair budget and a good dob will gives you a lot of veiwing pleasure. I am using an 8" and have it out every clear night.
But even more important than a scope, get a star atlas or maps. I use the cambridge atlas and Uranometria. Learning to navigate around is the best skill I have learnt, and really makes finding those faint fuzzies much more rewarding.
