For $300 the 6" dobsonian will be the best choice for planets. If the size doesn't bother her.
It will show more and is a much more stable telescope than anything else in this price-range :-)
The Skywatcher has better accessories but is $299, almost as much as a refurbished XT8 if it were in stock.
The XT6 with accessories is also $299, but the barlow isn't that good of a deal (a dedicated eyepiece would be better), and the Skywatcher's finder and focuser are still better.
Telescope.com also has the XT6 refurbished. https://www.telescope.com/Fall-Red-Tag-Sale/Clearance-Telescopes/pc/468/81.uts?&refinementValueIds=4566
 
For the 6" or even 8", a planetary eyepiece,

The AWB OneSky isn't going to show the planets quite as sharp as the XT6 would, but the OneSky is still a nifty starter scope. It's easy to transport. The larger field of view makes it easier to get oriented (for deep-sky). Instead of a tripod the Ikea Bekväm works fairly well (and a fishing chair) :-)
Do not buy eyepiece sets / kits, they are never worth it and contain mediocre eyepieces at best. :-)
