I have the same scope and the eyepieces that came with it.
I wanted more magnification for Saturn and other planets, so I bought a TV Delos 6mm as that's about the maximum magnification the scope can handle. So far I haven't been able to use it very often, the seeing in the suburbs isn't up to it.
Since then I bought a secondhand Pentax XW 10mm and I'm able to use it more often. It is notably better than the 9mm Plossl that came with the scope.
I think my most used eyepiece is the 2" Superview 26mm that came with the scope.

So if I was starting over again, maybe a good quality 10mm wide view such as a TV Delos 10mm or a Pentax XW 10mm.

A zoom eyepiece such as the Baader Hyperion might be handy too, the ability to change magnification on the fly has appeal.
