I started out with SCT's, tried a 10" dob, then moved back to SCT's again - I prefer the observing position and the fact that I can store the ota inside my house, whereas the dob had to live in the shed. I also have a great mount now (DM6) and I finally got the Sky Commander working properly tonight - it's a joy to use.
I'm basically after the largest aperture cassegrain that weighs around 30 pounds. I'm not keen on exposed optics that aren't dielectric as I don't want to deal with the maintenance. It'll probably end up being a C11 though I would like to hear of an actual observing experience with the RC10. I had a Meade 10" f/6.3 many moons ago which gave decent views with a 40% secondary obstruction.
