The rule is, as a general guide, when looking for an object, use your lowest power eyepiece, as you want the widest field possible to track it down. then once you have it, you can, if needed, up the power.
47Tuc is a big object. so it looks good at low power, but moderate power enables you to resolve all the stars. If conditions allow, cranking it up allows you to get quite deep in the core and you even start to see variations (slight though they be!) in colour if you have enough aperture.
Remember, there is no "best" eyepiece for an object, it is really finding what works for you and gives you the views that you enjoy.
