Eyepieces for LB12"

please guys and gals, I've come from 30years worth of F15 scopes to my first fast F5 scope. I need advice on eyepieces that work well on an F5.
I'm prepared to pay the premium price to get good E/P's.
At the moment I have a Ultima 24mm excellent even on an F5,
second, a Sirius optics widescan 111, 16mm another excellent e/p but it only just reaches focus ( inward ) with the F5 and with a barlow forget it!!
The other e/p is the 2" 26mm that came with the LB, 2/3 of view is good, last third affected by mild coma.
I would like to have a good range from 40mm to about 7mm, taking into account I have a Meade 2X barlow- 1 1/4". Thanks, John.
