Hi
You will get few responses here and I am sure most of them will recommend a 10" Dob, this is a perfect size scope to actually see a lot of sky objects with. Do not waste your money on a Mak or SCT unless you can spend $3k.
As for the eyepieces - try to get the shop to give you a little credit for the eyepieces they supply with the scope and get something decent.
Initially get a perhaps 2 eyepieces maybe 8mm and 20mm, 20mm Superview may be a good starting point, as for the 8mm choose something with long eye relief - this will rule out Plossl type ...
Check out other posts about eyepieces, they will give you the info your need to make informed decision..
Enjoy your sky watching !!
