I'm not going to send links, because it's too much work, so fuck you on the links. But speaking in general terms, you need a telescope that is not a child's toy.

Two things most beginners don't know. The mount is at least (and probably more) important than the objective lens or mirror. And the eyepieces are at least as important as the objective lens or mirror. The size of the objective is only one factor. Don't let it dominate your buying decision.

If you are getting a refractor, you will want a lens of over three inches in diameter. Don't even look at anything smaller. Four inches is better. If you are going the Newtonian reflector route, you will want a mirror no less than six inches in diameter. Eight inches is better.

The mounting needs to be heavy. It should be all metal if it is a tripod. Plastic dries out in a couple of years, cracks, and falls apart. This is always true, don't believe anyone who tells you differently. Get metal. Aluminum is fine if it is heavy (i.e. thick) aluminum. I won't kid you, the only good mounting is one that is set in the ground in concrete, but you can get tripods that are heavy and will do a somewhat adequate job, if you are willing to pay for them.

Vibration is poison to star gazing. Which is why you should never, never, ever get a tabletop telescope. Why? Because you are sitting on the same porch or deck that the table is sitting on. Every time you walk or move, the telescope will shake and your image will be destroyed. My telescope mount was a six-inch steel pipe set in a concrete pad ... in the ground. Even the ground shakes, but not as much as everything else.

Dobsonians may be OK. I don't know because I've never tried one, but people say they are OK. An equitorial mounting would seem, on first consideration, to be essential, but don't be so sure. It is tricky and time-consuming to set up properly for a beginner, and many just give up trying. You may be better off with a heavy, solid, metal altzimuth mounting. If you don't know the difference, an equitorial mount can track the movement of a star with one motion (an arc) -- with an altzimuth mount you need two motions (up-down and left-right).

Quality is the most important consideration. A quality primary lens in a refractor, or a quality mirror in a reflector. Quality lenses. A quality mounting system. Quality costs money. Don't expect to buy cheap, because you will get low-quality and you will not be happy. Go smaller than you want and pay more than you want, and you may get something you can live with.

It greatly depends on what you want to see and what you want to do. Realtime look at the craters on the moon vs long exposure astrophotography of nebulae.
