I have 11x70s and find they are quite difficult to hold steady due to the magnification. 7x50 are probably the most common and they will give you great views of the moons of Jupiter and our Moon and the image will be quite stable. You could mount them on a tripod to improve the stability, but they will be difficult to use once the target is more than a quarter of the way up the sky.
