Ryan,
I started this wonderful hobby 5 years ago with a 10” f5 push nudge dob and GSO Plössl’s 10mm , 15mm , 20mm and a 32mm Superview. It was an ideal beginner kit which provided many nights of enjoyable viewing over the first 2 years including open and globular clusters , the brighter nebula and galaxies and planetary.The Superview was my favourite eye piece at the time due to being 68deg AFV and longer eye relief, the Plössl’s were a bit of a struggle due to the narrower field of view and tight eye relief.
Fast forward to now , I’m using a Skywatcher 12” f5 Goto dob and a vast array of Televue eye pieces. My kit now is light years ahead of my beginner kit in every way, Televue eye pieces in the 12” are simply unbelievable for all types of objects.
My advice would be to buy the 32mm or 40mm Superview as they are relatively cheap and provide pretty good views then make a plan over 12 months or so and put money away each week or month to buy just one Televue eye piece.
Something like a 27mm Panoptic , 17mm Delos or a 22mm Nagler. I guarantee it will be one of your eye pieces for life in that 12” dob.
Cheers
Martin
