Decent Eyepiece recommendation for small dob?

Hi guys, I used to skywatch a long time ago and decided to get back into the hobby with the kids. As such I picked up one of those little Heritage 130mm collapsible table top dobs. Its not a bad little unit and should be suitable for young kids to learn off, (and dad to relearn what he is doing!)

I wondered if someone could suggest a decent eye piece? I was looking at 5-7mm, 60degree or more FOV, price point/quality up to $170, of which there are quite a few choices but also had a concern about the weight of the eye piece. I assume it might make tracking this small scope difficult? (I don't mind if its quality is overkill since I can use it for larger scopes later)

Had the chance to pick up a used baader hyperion but was worried at 350+grams or whatever it would be too heavy. Thanks for any opinions on that?
