8" or 10" Dob is by far the best bang for buck and easy to use start.
If it was just going to be shunted from shed to garden and you had the space to store and protect it then get the 10" and enjoy the view.
There not much real difference in size between them. Even if you progress to other scopes and systems later the big Dob will always be dragged out for those big sky views. You might even find a good deal on classifieds on here as people upgrade.
If you do go down the DOB path then also buy a 20mm or 15mm (or both) GSO Superview Eyepiece(s). They are dang good starter EPs and good value for the price. They are still my favourite and most used pieces of glass after 4 years.
