Eyepiece upgrade path?

I have a 12" Bintel Dob, and I've only really been using a couple of eyepieces from my el cheapo skywatcher with it.

Sooo, I was wondering in what direction should I go with aquiring new eyepieces? It sounds like they are very much worth the investment.

After searching around IIS, I was thinking a TV 13mm Nagler and maybe a barlow might be a good place to start. The cost of this would probably be my limit for a few months, and then perhaps get another two TV pieces later on.

Of course for the same money you can get a case of cheaper eyepieces, but it sounds like a couple of good eyepieces are better than having a bunch of cheapies. Yes?

Should I get a brand other than Tele Vue? Start with a different size/type? Get lots of cheaper eyepieces, or a few medium cost ones? I'm dreaming if I think one or three TV pieces will be enough for my amateur needs?

Just wanting to know where my money should go, and what the purchase path on pieces should be....
