My standard advice to "newbies" is going to be recycled again. Use your scope native for quite a while, forget the 5mm as it will not be much use most times. On my 8" the 9.7mm is my workhorse "high-power" lense so your 10mm will be great and your 25mm is a great starter low power lense.

Try to get to some astro society nights and talk to the others there and even try some of their lenses in your scope, if they are comfy with this. Make haste slowly in the eyepiece department otherwise you will end up with a LOT of expensive paperweights.
