I'm not an expert myself, never graduated past my small refractor telescope but I think an important question is to know if you are more interested in the Solar System or the Deep Sky.

Generally, Cassegrains fall into the first camp and Newtonians into the second. Refractors are somewhere in the middle. Regardless, more aperture is always better. :)
