Another vote for a 10" dob here. I think the skywatcher 10 incher looks interesting. It would need a light shroud I guess, but it may not translate well onto an equatorial mount later on. Of course, telescopes can be sold and new ones purchased if your needs change down the track.
Don't forget to save just a bit of money for a telrad and maybe a barlow or an extra one or two eyepieces.
