If you're gonna buy the ones with solar filter, please be extremely careful and very aware of the weather, it may flap out and burn your retina in seconds.

That's good, but generally there's not much difference. What's your budget?

#

the most expensive on there is the 6" bresser at £348 it has a 2" focuser and is the best on the list but for not too much more i could get an 8" dob

What is exactly your goal? Planetary or deep sky objects?

deep sky mostly but any of these will be an upgrade even for planetary over my current scope

A 8" dob would be a good Investment, but not sure you'd wanna carry such a heavy telescope outside. Those seem like the best choice for you.
