As suggested, go to an Astro Club/Society meeting before you make a purchase.
Most new moon weekends there is a group of IISers that get together at Mangrove Mountain.
Take the time time to see and try a few different types of scopes and see which one you like.
Each telescope design is a compromise that has its strengths and weakness. Your own preference will determine which scope is right for you. Me, I'm a fan of reflectors and refractors but others are fond of SCT.
Second hand is not a bad way to dip your toe in the water.
Cheers,
