A planetary eyepiece you might consider, because the spot diagram indicates it's the sharpest eyepiece they've ever produced, is the TeleVue DeLite.
It's 62°, so it could be a "general use" eyepiece as well.
And it's no accident the focal lengths start at 3mm, then 4mm, 5mm, 7mm, 9mm, etc.

There are many fine "planetary-oriented" eyepieces out there now. Some have long eye reliefs, some short, but you can find just about anything you want in a focal length from 1.6mm to whatever. It's a great time to look for short focal length ultra-sharp eyepieces.
