There is a definite difference in brightness between an 8" and a 10". I tend to recommend an 8" for newcomers as it will be easy to physically handle for nearly everyone, very tolerant of collimation errors, gives nice views of 100s of easy to find objects without spending too much. But a 10" will give you nicer views again and bring more objects within reach.
