Cheapest option is the C8, and not a bad option either. If you can afford it, then the Mak, but if I suggested a Mak it would be a Mak/Newt, therefore getting decent usage for both planetary as well as DSO imaging.
BUT.......... a decent one costs, and it also costs from a mount point of view as well.
A middle to top quality Mak (Mak/Cass) will cost all of what you have seen the C8-SGT priced at, and I would figure that or close again for a mount. On the strength of that the C8 looks like a winner.
