Those EP focal lengths sound like a nice group, you could then add a Barlow one day to multiply them up - depending on what you want to look at. I mainly look at DSO's with my 8" and actually rarely pull the 20mm Plossl out of the focuser.... I do use a 10mm sometimes, and also a 32mm Plossl, but for me the 20mm is perfect.
The other thing I'd suggest up front is a Telrad - or other 1x magnification pointer. Worth its weight in gold.
Congrats on your choice too.....
