If you are a beginner go for the Dobsonian mount. An 8" newtonian scope is too big for satisfactory operation on an EQ5 as well as being more difficult to set up.
Use the Dobsonian as a push telescope first while you learn about collimation and its operation and then use the goto function on the alt/azm mode.
Later when if you want to do photography spend your money on a good solid mount.
