Confirm your budget for the entire set-up (mount normally costs the most out of all your gear).

Confirm your target set - what sort of Objects you will most likely wish to image (to confirm this is compatible with the selected OTA - e.g. very faint nebulae in bright skies - more likely requires a large Newtonian or SCT or RC and/or narrow-band filters might make more sense)...

What size CCD will you seek to use? - if its a full format one, to avoid coma and provide a flat field certain apo designs may work better than others.

As Mike said (and he would know) more information from you means alot better advice will be given!
