Don't get the Bushnell. The bushnell telescopes are, from most accounts, horrible.

I'm not sure about the Meade one. It seems kind of expensive for a small 114mm telescope.

Orion has a similar model that might be a bit better. (more compact, shorter focal ratio, parabolic)

They also have a dobsonian version:
