In general people seem to think that it is better to have more eyepieces than using a Barlow. I find the Barlow to work OK (and I have a cheap one), for a beginner at least (although I agree that more eyepieces would be better).
PS: I have only used the Barlow for the moon.
PPS: The "long" 3x Barlow won't work well with our scope. I made the mistake of buying one and then had to buy a short one (incredibly cheap, but it still does an OK job on clear nights). (Luckily I also have another scope I can use the long one with.)
