Hey Bill
Firstly you will find that visual observers have a wide range of opinions on what are the best eyepieces. Personally I love using Televue ones, but they can be a bit expensive.
My usual advice is use the ones you have as much as possible until you are a little more experienced and you can make a more informed (and often less expensive!) choice.
That said my advice if you are on a budget is to keep the 25mm that came with the scope as a low power EP.
The 25mm Plossl (and I have had both SW and GSO ones) are generally pretty good, especially as essentially a freebie!
The 10mm on the other hand can be hard to use, not much eye relief and a really small exit pupil. Remember if you barlow the 25 you have a 12.5mm anyway which is pretty good power at 96x anyway with better eye relief.
I am loath to give any recommendation beyond that as you are on a budget and my experience is with EPs that are probably more than you are prepared to spend, having not used the Meades you mention I cannot comment on those. I will note that 60deg against the 50deg of a plossl is not a huge jump.
