Newbie with eye piece questions

Hi im new here and have just bought a skywatcher 6" dob... it came with 2 eye pieces..25mm and 10mm. I bought a 2x barlow lens also.
Tested it out last night and i got a good eye full of stars... i have to say i wasnt blown away with any detail or anything. Are the eye pieces that come with these a decent quality or can i do better? Looking for recommendations on what eye pieces to buy. Would a zoom piece be the best value right now to try out or should i get a couple of single pieces? Id like to be able to see some planet detail and the moon. Last night seemed clear to me but maybe it wasnt the best night for it like i said im new to all this.
Any help would be great.
