I didn’t end up giving you other suggestions for a set so here goes:
Tele Vue Nagler five eyepiece set (all 82 deg).
31mm Nagler
22mm Nagler
13mm Nagler
9mm Nagler
7mm Nagler
The next two only if you want higher power for planets or planetary nebula or splitting doubles. You could choose other designs.
5mm Nagler
3.5mm Nagler
If you like 100 deg then
21mm Ethos
13mm Ethos
8mm Ethos
6mm Ethos
Delos is also available in similar focal lengths except for the low power end. I have not tried Delos.
An absolute minimalist 1.25” only set (miss out on high power for planets on shorter telescopes (900-1200mm) but 9mm is great for say 1800-2000mm.
24mm Panoptic. (If you have 2” get the 27mm Panoptic or 22mm Nagler but 24mm can be used on just about any telescope as most are at least 1.25” except some very old ones)
13mm Nagler
9mm Nagler or 7mm for shorter focal length such as your 8”, f4.5.
9mm with 2mm exit pupil is great for galaxies at 1000mm f.l.
Now like I said in my previous post buy the best you can afford but as a beginner you will not likely be bothered by eyepiece aberrations like I wasn’t for many years and simply enjoyed viewing the night sky. It took me 20 years before I started investing in some Tele Vue eyepieces mainly for their highly corrected wide apparent field of view.
