Advice on first telescope

Hi Guys
Im Chris and a newbie to telescopes and have read and read and read about all these different types and sizes etc etc
Man what a nightmare !
But ok I have a budget around $1000 , can go over a little if need be.
I also may want to take some photos at some point

I have seen a :
New Saxon 2001 EQ5 Reflector Telescope With Motor Drive

for $800 new from an ebay seller with a 12 month warranty

or should I be going for the likes of a :

Skywatcher 10" Dobsonian Telescope SW880

But these Dobsonian are huge and must pose a problem to move if required.
Will Dobsonian give me nice clear views or are they more power and less quality

please advise and help
thanks in advance
Chris
