I would go with the largest aperture. In this case it would be the 150mm.

The price difference from what I see is minimal as well.

Just be aware that Newtonians on EQ mounts can get a bit " fiddly" when you are not used to them.

But that would be my choice. Just persevere with the EQ mount and enjoy the 6 inch aperture.
Also an EQ mount is a little easier to track the Earth's motion than a dobsonian mount is.
But you will need to roughly point the axis of the EQ mount to the South Celestial Pole to make tracking a bit easier.

150 mm is my choice.

Enjoy.

Geoffro.
