I agree that 13mm is the best bet for your 'middle' eyepiece, in a '68' or 60something AFoV it makes a great general EP in that scope.
However, I'd once again suggest the Meade 4000 QX 26mm as your wide eyepiece. I don't think the 20mm is a wide enough step from the 13mm. I also have an 8 inch f6 Dob and the QX 26mm eyepiece is very good in it. It gives just enough field of view to fit in the Pleiades cluster. It gives minor coma at the outer regions of the field, but it's only noticeable if you look for it. In the f5 scope there's lots of coma, but it's fine in the f6. As I said before, don't buy it new at $150, get it second hand off Ebay for $70 or so.
Cheers,
Jason.
