(I am using a Meade LX200 8" with 40mm,26 and 9.7mm eyepieces (and a barlow.) I can't get the 9.7 focussed very well at all but the others are OK. just smaller.)

Given your focal length of 2032mm, the 9.7mm without Barlow gives you 209x magnification; a bit high in average seeing which you may have had.
26mm Barlowed will give you 156x which is more than adequate to pick up detail. An 11mm (184x) eyepiece may be a good choice for just that bit more power when seeing permits.
