Tammy, buy one at a time according to your budget. Eyepieces can be used on any scope, so if you upgrade your scope you take your eyepieces with you. Two or three carefully choosen eyepieces is better than a set... but buy to your budget. It doesn't have to be the absolute best $300+ eyepiece just because someone else has a bigger budget and swears by it.
The best advice on eyepieces is: "
the eyepiece is half your telescope". You don't want to spend well on a scope and then let it down with a bad eyepiece... but you also don't want to spend hundreds on a great eyepiece with a poor quality scope.
