If you need wide FOV & good eye relief, what about the Pentax XW 7? It is a superb eyepiece. It is a nudge over your budget at around $350, but it is truly worth it, imho. Great planetary eyepiece as well as for DSOs.
If that focal length is too short, then perhaps the XW 10? Another masterpiece from Pentax, good for both DSOs and planets.

Reason: added XW 10
