Refractor on a alt/az would be a winner if your pure visual and don't have the feel for a eq and just want to move around with ease. A newt on an eq5 would be a bit of work at zenith, may need a step ladder, also get a F5 if its visual to keep collimation simple
I would personally go a 130 SLT $799 or a 127MAK slt $999 at andrews. We are planing to buy one for public viewing nights because of lugging the 10" dob about and also these have goto and tracking for visual
Theres also a skywatcher model at around $600 but i haven't herd anything about how well it preforms. These scopes are light, easy to setup and do a fine job for what you pay
