Hi, confusion is normal. I started with what you call a tri-pod mounted reflector and it taught me a lot. then I moved to a dob mounted reflector and it taught me that a dob mounted reflector was a lot easier to use.
WARNING THE ABOVE IS A PERSONAL OPINION AND OTHERS MAY HAVE AN EQUALLY VALID OPPOSING OPINION.
T 8" reflector, on any mount you choose, will be a terrific scope to begin with. it is one of the most popular sizes for the simple reason it does everything well.
Have fun.
