The Astro Societies recommend a 6" Dobsonian for the beginner. Any larger than that is just a bonus for Light Gathering Power. The bigger the scope, the more that can be seen with it, in greater detail, and at a higher magnification. Allow some money to get a Planetary Eyepiece, and a book like Astronomy 2011, to let you know where the night sky objects are.
Make sure it fits in the person's car!
