One of the most versatile eyepieces and one of high quality is the Tele Vue 24mm Panoptic. Being 1.25" it can be used on telescopes with 1.25" only or 2" with 1.25" adapter. It has the largest field stop diameter possible in a 1.25" barrel (same as 32mm and 40mm Plossl). It has a nice 68 deg. apparent field unlike the 32mm Plossl (50 deg.) and 40mm Plossl (43 deg.). It gives a good not too large exit pupil at f5. It binoviews very well (provided your binoviewer also has 27mm clear aperture). It performs very well on any telescope design as it is highly corrected. It has comfortable eye relief of 15mm.

It is a highly recommended eyepiece. Enjoy!
