Meade LX90 12” ACF - eyepieces, objects to look at

So i’ve recently purchased this scope.. tracking is good.. works marvelously with the meade stella and Sky Safari pro app..

could i know what wide angle eyepieces would go well with it ie. High mag for jupiter and the lowest high mag for deep sky yet with nice wide views (cheap yet good views). I have a set of cheap chinese plossls, a 34mm 72 deg (china made wide angle), a baader zoom, a 12mm vixen slv and and awaiting a 25mm slv.. i also have a set of coloured and a 1.25 and 2 inch uhc (china made) filters.. not sure if adding more to the collection would give me better views in my light polluted sky.

And also if there is a field derotator that would go with this alt az setup for limited AP?

Lastly, what are the deep sky objects should i be looking out for in my light polluted sky? I have covered structures around the large and small megalenic and the orion.. what other galaxies or nebulas should i be looking out for with this scope visually?

And for those of you who are wondering if a 2inch diagonal with a sct crayford would clear the base in this 12 inch ; yes it does!
