Eyepieces for Tak FSQ106

Hi,
I'm fortunate enough to have come into the posession of a Tak FSQ106. Even though I purchased it with imaging in mind, I understand that it's also a very good viewing instrument.

Having come from the SCT world, I'm not entirely sure what eyepieces I should be considering now. Assuming that I'll be using the scope from my suburban Sydney home, I'd appreciate some suggestions as to what limiting magnification I should be looking at?

According to the manual, on nights of good seeing, it can handle 100x per inch (ie, 400x). Obviously the nights of good seeing in Sydney are few and far between. Should I be aiming for a couple of eyepieces to give me ~100x & 200x (5mm & 2.5mm)?

Any suggestions as to what eyepeices will work well with an FSQ106?

Matt
