With my current set of scopes (outlined in my signature) and eyepieces I'd say if I could only keep two eyepieces I'd pick the 24 Panoptic and the 10 mm Pentax XW. With the 13 mm Televue T6 Nagler a close third.

I prefer to stay with 1.25 inch format, I'm lazy and don't like to go back and forth...

That gets me my widest FOV in a 1.25 inch eyepiece with the 24 Pan at a good "finding" magnification and framing. The 10 mm Pentax is an outstanding eyepiece and would be a good higher useable magnification that most nights (nearly all) I could use. The fall back if allowed 3 choices of course would be the 13 mm Nagler. I use those 3 almost every night I ahve the scope(s) out.

I like the idea of having a few "high quality" eyepieces...

I've not used either the 8 mm or the 13 mm Ethos in my own scopes but they are very impressive eyepieces to behold...
