actually it depends on seeing. I have a 6.5mm series 500 EP and during good seeing I have seen plenty of detail on planets.
Neo: I have a gso 8" which i have mounted on a EQ. I kept the round thingies on the side of the optical tube so i could mount it back on the dob base to... makes it all very versatile
heres a link to a pic.

it all comes down to what your budget is tho. if you can aford a 10" with all the bits and pieces you need to go along with it then et that, if not then you may have to go down a size
when i bought my 8" it was the price of the current 10"
but either the 8" or 10" will let ou see heaps when the seeing is good
another alternative is the gs660 eq mounted 8" on the andrews site. or maybe you want a refractor? i'd go a short tube one from AOE on an eq mount... aoe.com.au
