What sort of binoculars are they? (I'm always boring beginners by telling them to get binoculars.)
Both pretty good scopes, but totally opposite in many ways. Are you familiar with using an equatorial mount? I find that this can be the biggest single turn-off for a newbie, or even an experienced observer. Unless you know what is involved or if you're seriously considering imaging, I'd recommend a dob, even if it meant you needed a smaller dob for it to fit in your car.
(Naturally, I'm only parading my own prejudices here. In ten minutes someone will chime in with a contradictory opinion.)
Good luck,
Brian.
