Is there any particular reason you are inclined towards a Dob or Newt?
From what you are describing in terms of planetary observing and photography with your budget I would actually be thinking about a good quality smallish refractor - easier to use - very portable - can be used for other things later on - typically retain their value well - and don't need much maintenance.
EDIT
Amazing Craig - your post appeared perhaps 6 seconds before mine
