Remember that when you Barlow your ep's you effectively double your ep collection. Albiet with some loss of optical quality ( I find). I have an older meade series 5000 super plossl. I find it to be pretty good. I have a few shorter plossls as well. I bought a short 1.25" 70º widefield plossl from an IIS member a while back. For what it cost it's excellent. I also have a 2" bintel 30mm superview which I think is great value for money. I use it quite a bit, except it does my neck in because I don't have a 2" diagonal yet. My next purchase. Good for DSO's. Resist the urge to lash out. Try a few before buying if you can.
