A good quality 12 inch Newt like Mike's is a hard telescope to go past. They just seem to be a bit fiddly and less foolproof than a good APO.

I know what you mean and I think the answer is no one scope is an allround performer for all types of imaging.

Some are more versatile than others.

Faster scopes are more fussy than longer F ratio scopes.

But faster scopes are more productive considering the main hurdle to overcome is getting enough clear skies.
