Hi Tom
Welcome. Firstly, ditto to mostly everything said above - I would recommend trying a few different eyepieces if you can get to an astro night. Not only will you get the chance to try different focal lengths but also different fields of view.
For me, I find I like no more than about 70 deg eyepieces, whereas others like a much wider view. The other thing to consider is buying secondhand (eg. here, Astromart and Cloudynights). If you find you don't like an eyepiece you are less likely to lose money if you choose to re-sell, which was my situation with a couple of Naglers. On reading about Pentax eyepieces here, and being a little patient, I recently picked up a secondhand Pentax 10mm which is simply superb.
And then there are some alternative approaches. Something else I have also done is to convert some new/secondhand Nikon digiscoping/spotting scope eyepieces for Astro use and these have been terrific.*
Just some food for thought.
Andrew
