My pick would be the TMB Paragon 40mm, Vixen LVW 17 and LVW 8 mm, spanning the useful magnification range of your scope. There is an LVW 5mm but you'll never use it.

If can find them, Vixen LVW's are better in your scope than the Baader Hyperions, and similar to TV Radians. For low power though, the TMB Paragon 30 or 40mm, instead; both are MUCH sharper edge to edge than the Vixens or Hyperions. The TMB40 has lots of eyerelief, OTOH the 30mm has a wider apparent FoV and less eyerelief. These eyepieces are no longer available new, but do come up occasionally on Astromart. Both the 30 and 40mm is useable on your scope; the 40 is about the longest useful focal length.

Finding used LVW's is also hard.
