Welcome Thiink,
There is such a vast assortment of scopes available and quite often it is up to individual taste.
Some people are Dob nuts (yay!), some are EQ reflector, some are refractor freaks. All are different and all are special. I have all 3 but prefer my 12" dob, mainly because it's 12".
Others will swear by CAT's.
The best thing to do is look through as many scopes as possible within a chosen price range and portability, and decide that way.
It's no good looking through a $5000 Schmitt-Cassegrain, love it, and expect to get a similiar view with a $1200 version Maksutov (similiar to Schmitt-Cass). An 8" - 10" dob is probably a good way to start if you can transport them. A 12" is much harder to transport (size, not weight).
But you may find a very good Refractor for about $1000.
The choice can be endless!
Ask more questions and we can try give assistance.
Good luck.
