Default scope for light pollution

Right now light pollution in my yard isn't bad at all (about mag. 5),
but by next fall there will be a shopping plaza and parking lot built
adjacent to it, so I expect light pollution to be very bad.

I was all set to buy an 8" Dob, but when the light pollution
arrives, I might not be able to see much more than planets, so I might
have no choice but to get a planetary scope. What will give me the
sharpest planetary views: 8" f/6 Dob, 6" f/8 Dob, 80mm Orion ED
refractor, or 90-100mm Chinese non-apo refactor?
