I have the 12" GSO (non-goto) (from Andrews) and am very happy with it. If you have it setup correctly (leveled, aligned to north, and with azimuth setting circle and inclinometre then it hits the target everytime, but it helps to have the good GSO 30mm Superview EP with it.
I would not spend the money on Goto, in my opinion it makes you lazy and hinders sky knowledge buildup. There is a big jump in cost from the 12" to the 16" and I did consider that one. Overall I am happy with the 12" and am in the process of working through the Deep Sky Southern Gems.
You can, at a later stage add a motorised base and Goto system but that should not be allowed to delay your enjoyment now.
