Hi Ryan, I know you've got plenty of good advice so far; I have an 8" Bintel Dob as well and used the EP's supplied with it for a while; I sought some "upgrade" advice from the Bintel shop and they steered me toward an Orion Edge-On Planetary 6mm EP; these EP's have a very good eye relief and excellent contrast and I have not noticed any aberration at all through the whole field of view. At around $130 I think they are an excellent buy...in fact, I would have to say that about 85% of my observing is done with this one EP (I have to go to a 15mm or so for DSO's though); when I barlow this EP (I have a celestron barlow and a bintel version) it performs well; of course, on any given night, seeing can be dull and pulling back the power is more satisfying than giant blobs barlowed beyond recognition! Anyway, you'll get plenty of enjoyment from the EP's supplied - it costs a fair bit to build up a set of Televue EP's
