I currently have a 13mm t6 nag.

im using a 12" SW dob with an argo navis.
In an undriven Dob I think that the Ethos wide field would be would be great either the 6 or 8. I've not used either in real life but have looked through them "in the show room" they look good.

I have the 7 mm Pentax XW and have used the 5 mm XW...they are fabulous eyepieces.

I don't think you could go wrong either way...

Do you wear glasses or need lots of eye relief?
