If you're going to buy the LB 12", it already comes with the 2" Meade QX 26mm which is a good started eyepiece for open clusters ... albeit with a few "seagulls" for stars towards the edge.
Suggest a good budget companion eyepiece is the Bintel SuperView 15mm (1.25") $39.00. This will do a reasonable job on smaller open clusters, globular clusters, etc.
Using this in conjunction with a Bintel Barlow 2x (1.25") $35.00 will give you decent views of Jupiter & Saturn .... although they drift from view pretty fast at high magnification using a Dob.
Using the 15mm in conjunction with a Bintel GSO ND-96 Moon (1.25") filter $15.00 will also give some great views of craters on the moon. If the moon is very bright (eg. almost full), you might be better off with 2 of these filters together.
Enjoy!
