If it was me, I would go a TV eyepiece. I have a TV 2x barlow and while it is OK, the views are noticeablely better a crisper in a plain EP of similar power.
By using a barlow you retain the properties of the EP, so if budget is tight, it can be the best alternative.
The TV plossls are the best plossls you can get, so if budget is tight they are worth considering, but even Televue cannot comnpensate for the inherent properties of a short Plossl, poor eyerelief and small exit pupil.
If I was looking at a 10mm EP I would perhaps look at the Delos. It's pricey at $339 from Bintel, but are a joy to use with good eye relief and crisp views.
