I think it depends on a few factors such as your own eye sight, budget and feel. I have high end ethos eye pieces that I love and some cheapish one to ,so just get out there and try heaps till you find some that work. A great place to start is a star party where there are many to look through. I would not get to caught up in the whole whats best game till you look through a few.
As for the Barlow I have never had much luck with them and so not sure of there value to the beginner. My 2 cents
