I wouldn't worry about eyepieces til you get used to the scope and work out which magnifications you use most. I also would avoid a set and contemplate saving for a small number of premium eyepieces.
Regarding whether to go for bigger scope or go to, I am a bit of a passionate star hopper and would go for the bigger scope. But I have dark skies where I can see lots of fainter stars to guide me and also lots of time under them to fluff around and find things. You will be able to see a lot more objects per session with go to, but you will not end up learning the sky much. To be honest, I think the difference between a 12" and 14" is not huge.
Main thing is to get the scope that you will use most.
