If eye relief is your main criteria and you want the Bees Knees I would suggest that you try the Pentax XW line of eyepieces...good eye relief and approx. 70 degrees field of view...outstanding eyepieces. I have 2 a 7 and 10 mm and they are very good in my dobs. It is hard to fault either one in my opinion.
If you don't need/want that much eye relief, you can maximize FOV with the Televue line either the Naglers or Ethos...but neither will have as much eye relief. Again they are fabulous eyepieces...I have some Naglers and Panoptics and they too are very good in my dobs.
I would highly recommend that you try some of these TVs or Pentax before you buy them. They are both expensive but worth it in my opinion.
