if you are thinking of imaging planets, then the longest natural focal length is what you really should look for. You will get this an SCT or Maksutov.

300mm f5 newt = 1500mm focal length
300mm f10 sct = 3000mm focal length

Yes, you can put barlows and powermates etc onto a newt, but you can also do the same for sct's
