recommend me a barlow

Hi All,

With my impending delivery of an eq6 mount i'm in the hunt for a new barlow.
Will mostly be used in a 8inch f/6 newt for planetary imaging i currently have a 2x gso achro barlow that i bought on a whim so i have that base covered for now but i will upgrade that as i feel the quality is some what average especially visually it dims the image
So in general what should i be looking for ?going to a 2.5x or 3x as i believe the 5x power mate would most likely be over kill and my skies might let me only use it once a year =o)
