In general, I usually recommend 4 eyepieces with a scope like that:
low power 4-10x/inch (28-70x) or 39-96mm focal length eyepieces
medium power 10-20x/inch (70-140x) or 19-39mm eyepieces
High power 20-30x/inch (140-210x) or 13-19mm eyepieces
Extra high power 30-40x/inch (210-280x) or 10-13mm eyepieces
Depending on which eyepieces you chose, you might get by with 3 eyepieces and a barlow lens.

Thanks Don,
I don't have a 10mm yet, I was just thinking this might be a good option. Maybe you're right, and planning to get 4 main eyepieces is the way to go. I have the medium power covered with the 35 Pan, so a 55mm Plossl would be the low power. I've read good things about all in the Delos range, so am happy to aim for these in shorter f/l.
Maybe this as a set?
55mm Plossl
35mm Pan
17.3mm Delos
12mm Delos
Already have 35mm Pan, will get the Plossl last, so one of the Delos is next...
I already have a couple of not-too-bad 60 degree Dual ED eyepieces (15mm and 8mm), as well at the stock 28mm that came with the scope. I reckon these will keep me going while I save for the good glass.
