To me this seems best addressed through experimentation - playing with eps and seeing which you like for what.

For myself, this tends to be low power for larger objects like open clusters, but otherwise 130x to 180x depending on how good the seeing is. I find faint DSOs eg galaxies and PNs come up quite well with higher mags as the smaller field seems to enhance contrast. For planets I again go for the highest power that seeing allows.

But play, play, play and see what you like! I'll be interested to hear what others think.
