Hi, welcome to IIS.
You will tire of a 6" scope a lot quicker than an 8". For wide bright views, I'd go for the dob.
You can still take quite reasonable images of the Moon, Sun (properly filtered of course) and brighter planets through it. And if you find down the track that the imaging bug bit you hard, you can remount the scope on an equatorial mount and go from there.
Dip your toes in first, go to a few star parties too, see what others are using and get their opinions too.
You can't go wrong with the dob.
