10mmish eyepiece advise

Hello all,
I use a 12" f4.9 dobsonian telescope.
My favourite dso's are planetary nebula.


I am considering which 10mmish eyepiece to upgrade to from the stock plossl that came with the scope.
I naively bought a 6.5mm Morpheus which at 230x is just too much power. I have only been able to use it once in the last 8 months!!
I am interested in the 'less glass' argument but not sold on it as I have no way to compare before I buy. I am considering:
- Morpheus 9mm
- televue delite 11mm
- televue plossl 11mm
- Baader classic ortho 10mm
Etc



The BCO really intrigues me. I guess my question is, which of these would show the best sharpness and detail of the intended object ie: planetary nebula and planets.
I'm not going to take into account FOV, price, ER, comfort, sharpness across the field as I intend to keep the object well centred.
Any thoughts would be really helpful

Cheers
