According to his sig he has reflector on a driven equatorial mount. The TMB/Burgess planetary EPs are well regarded and do have a wider AFOV (60 v 45) but I do not know how they otherwise compare with the Vixen LV's for transmission and sharpness.
When viewing the Moon I usually start with a 10XW which frames the entire Moon nicely with a 70 degree AFOV and then work my way down from there - next to the 7XW and on some nights that is all that the seeing will allow. If the seeing is reasonably good I use 6 and 5mm EPs, if its excellent then 4 and 3.5mm EPs.
When it comes to barlows I think its hard to go past the Televue 2x barlow at the current sale price of $139.
