I know you want to do both but ulimately what do will you end up doing.

Planetary mostly - 8" with tracking.

But if you intend to do DSO mostly which there is a lot more to see then 10" is the way to go. If you can wait a bit longer to save the pennies then track as well.

Even though I do planetary mostly, I know I made the right choice for 12" as I know I will further down the track will observe more DSO. I will also purchace a heavy duty mount for the DOB in the future or build one. DOB tracking was not available when I bought my scope.
