Question Eye piece explanations

I'm looking around for some eyepiece upgrades, and rather confused by all the names etc.

Is there a page or reference covering differences between types and also the intended or common use.

Things like plossl, Nagler, orthos etc.
Have no idea why one is preferable to others, or what I'd expect to be different between different types at same focal length.

Additionally, any recommendations for EP's I should check out ould be great.
My main topics are moon and deep sky objects.
Mainly because I've had fairly sub average luck with planets so far

For reference
10" dob Goto
1200mm f.l.
F4.7

Current EP's
SkyWatcher OEM plossl
6, 10, 15, 25
2x barlow

20, 12,9mm 50 deg Vixen NLV

26mm UWA 70 deg 2". (rather in love with the moon view through this)

5mm TV Radian (to much for my scope?)
