Question GS880 Dob

Hi Guys and Gals,

Please let me apologise in advance for some very basic questions.

After much confusion about a new scope I've narrowed it to two. I'm probably leaning more to a GS 88O f5 dob from Andrews. I've seen plenty of praise for GSO equipment on this site.
I have never owned a dob, and would appreciate some advice on eyepieces. I would rather have fewer good quality pieces than more average ones.

Also is a Barlow of any use on a dob?

Is a paracorr required?

For info, the other scope I am considering is the Intes MK66, but I am a little worried about maintenance, ... plus the fact the price just went up.

Thanks for your help
