Newbie Lightbridge 12" - better planetary viewing?

Hi all, theres already a fair bit of threads regarding LB's eyepieces here but i dont feel right hijacking somebody else's thread..

Im fairly new with eyepieces, my last scope came with a barlow and 3 'cheap' eyepieces over 8 years ago.. I recently got myself a Lb 12" and it came with a standard wide view 26mm eyepiece. I've also got a 15mm 1.25 piece thrown in the package.

When i looked at Jupiter it was fairly bright and i could make out the surface stripes a little.. Can i achieve better results (more surface details) with a barlow adapter or would you recommend a particular eyepiece that will give me a much more detailed viewing?

Ive beem Lookibg at a Meade 4000 eyepiece kit, would this be a good start?

Hope i make sense here - Any suggestions would be great..
