This is a good question...
I can't claim to have the answer but here is my 2 cents worth...
I'd spend money on the best optics that you can find...get fewer high quality things...that last over time (or hold their resale value)
I've been saving my "barlow pennies" for a while now and with the recent Christmas gift guilt my wife is suffering I am investing in a TV 2.5X Powermate...(with her blessing)
I now have the plossels that came with my scope and an 11 mm Nagler... I hope to build on this with a bigger "quality" wide fov (undecided) next year sometime...hopefully gaining one per year
I do have a Telrad (just installed) but not yet used (curse the clouds and my travel schedule) but I dig the concept...there are some cool sites with star charts and the Telrad "bullseye" already on them...I call them PHD (Point Here Dummy)
My rationale is that eyepieces make up a large percent of the optics...why skimp?
Cheers!
