This is the age old question of where to start with eyepieces. Firstly, there are a number of caveats to be mindful about which essentially relate to what particular scope you have, what you optimally want to look at and what is your eyesight like in terms of eyerelief you might require from an eyepiece. Additionally, from my own experience it is far better to invest in 1 or 2 high quality eyepieces which you will keep for the rest of your life (and will largely hold their value) rather than buying a whole bunch of cheapish EP's. At this exact point in time Televue eyepieces are remarkably cheap due to the Australian dollar and sales so if your budget can manage $260 then now would be the time to buy a Televue 9mm Nagler. With this eyepiece you can achieve the spacewalk feeling and with your barlow it will still be pretty good for planetary observing.
