You will find that of the EPs that come with the scope the 26mm will be the one you use the most. The 15mm a bit and the 9mm will be hard to use as it will have a small exit pupil and small field of view and short eye relief. I keep a 10mm plossl that came with my first scope on hand to pop in to remind myself how nice my good EPs are!
IMHO Televue are the EPs of choice. I would go something a bit different to the 26mm initially. That will give you 46x power (1200mm / 26 =46.15)
so you will need a higher power EP around the 12-15mm mark. The 13mm Nagler will give you 92x (twice the power) and is a superb item if you can spare $299 (Bintels price) I have one and it is the shizzle!
The one disadvantage is the eyerelief is not startling at 12mm so if you wear glasses it may take a little getting used to, but I use glasses and have had no problems.
The best strategy is hold on to your cash until you have a bit of experience under your belt and have a clearer idea of what you need. Even better is to get to a club night or observing session and see what others are using and try out a few EPs for yourself.
Whereabouts are you so we can see if any clubs nearby?
