From what you have said I would agree with the others. The 90 x 900 AZ3 is your best bet.
It will work fine for the planets and moon. As others have said you won't see much detail on the planets but the moon it great.

I have an 80x900 and have no problems with open clusters and globular clusters. There are some bright nebulae that look good too. Fainter objects can be found at a dark site but will be no comparison to a bigger DOB.

A refractor does put the eyepiece down low but a 90 degree mirror fixes that.
