I would suggest you start a new thread in Eyepieces Barlows and Filters. You will get a quick response there.
Eyepieces range from $40 and upwards to over $1000 so you need to give a price range you want to pay. Up to $100 should get you a good eyepiece to start with. Or if you want to get the best value for money you can't go past the Orion Stratus series though they may be out of your price bracket at the moment.
Research things such as FOV "Field Of View" - "Eye Relief" and "Edge Of Field" this will help in your selection.
You need a wide FOV good eye relief and sharpness to the edge of field.
I would suggest a 25- 26mm to find the object a mid range 15-17mm for nebulae and galaxies and 5-6mm for planetary also get a good barlow this gives you 2 x magnification which means when used with a 25mm you have a 12.5mm and the 15mm such as the Meade QX (which we have used) you have 7.5mm so this gives you a wide range.
Get the best quality you can afford and it's not necessary to buy the same brand in each size. Every company has its best one in each range.
Anyway I'm sure you will get good advice on your thread once you pose the question there.
Also do a search as the are many threads in that section with great advice
