Calibos, the optimum combination is not the same for all. It depends on the scope, the focal ratio, the seeing conditions (transparency and light pollution) and the observer.

And it depends on what eyepieces you have to choose from.

It varies a bit depending on the size of the galaxy but not as much as you seem to think, aside from the magellanic clouds and the Andromeda galaxy.
