Best eyepiece for Saturn.

I finally got to see Saturn last night with my 2week old 10" dob
and was a bit disappointed.

Started out with 25mm eyepiece and then progressed to my 6mm.
With the 25mm the image was great although quite small,
with the 6mm it was very hard to see into the smaller hole eyepiece
and the image was a little blurry.

I guessing that I'm seeing why the GSO eyepieces are maybe just
average and that's why people have said to me that I would later on
want to upgrade/purchase new eyepieces.

That being said, what's the best eyepiece (magnification) to use
for eg: Saturn ?

Also should I be looking at getting a new eyepiece (good quality)
or just get a 2" 2x barlow to use with my 2" GSO 32mm eyepiece ??
I enjoy looking through the 2" 32mm GSO eyepiece as it has a nice large
easy to see viewing angle.

thks.
