Do you wear eyeglasses? Long or short sighted can be focused out but astigmatism means you'll have to keep the glasses on, like me. Which means I have to use eyepieces with at least 17-18mm eye relief.
Personally, I love the wide field of view - 60 to 70 degrees and my most used eyepieces are a 26mm 60 degree Meade super plossle (1 1/4") or the Televue 27mm Panoptic (2")
The Baader hyperions seem pretty good value for money (I have a few) and particularly like the 17mm - a good mid magnification/good eye relief/wide field of view. I've also got a Chinese copy of it (no brand but from a Saxon dealer) which seems just as good.
Something like a 24-32mm for wide angle low power, 17mm mid power and 9-10mm for high power plus a barlow would cover nearly all bases.
Keep weight in mind - if a heavy 2" eyepiece causes balance problems it may be a pain swapping from one to the other. You might be able to pick up some nice Televue's in the classifieds from time to time - there's usually some very nice EP's in there. Some of the cheaper stuff out of China can be very good also - I'm sure you'll get lots of recommendations.
