I hear this all the time from people: "I only want to buy one, forever, so tell me what I should buy."
The truth is, until you have a lot of experience with eyepieces and observing, you simply won't know what will work perfectly for you.
It's unrealistic to expect to buy an eyepiece, any eyepiece, that will suit you forever as your tastes and needs change.
There are a lot of good eyepieces, and it might be better to ask about specific ones.
You can download my 2016 Buyer's Guide to Eyepieces to get an idea of what is available and then go from there:

If you are under 40, look for an eyepiece that yields a 6-7mm exit pupil (Eyepiece Focal length / Telescope f/ratio). If you're 40-60, try a maximum of 5-6mm, and if 60+, try for a maximum exit pupil of 5mm.
