[Scope is a 14" F/4.6]

I am going to break the rules & list three, which are the ones I use all the time:

1) Nagler 26mm T5 (5.6mm exit pupil)
2) Ethos 13mm (2.8mm exit pupil)
3) Pentax XW 7 (1.5mm exit pupil)

..with an honourable mention to the XW 10, which as several have noted is a cracker eyepiece. And the Pan 24 makes a fine & more compact substitute for the 26 T5. You could also substitute an XW 5 for the 7 if you wanted more power.

Limitations I see with the 31mm Nagler are the overly large exit pupil in fast scopes (6.74mm in my scope), plus of course the weight. Which is not to deny it was a groundbreaking eyepiece; just don't drop it on your foot.
