If you want sharp views on planets IMO you can't beat orthoscopic ep's, they can be had for $60 from kk in Japan, so are cheap enough you can buy a few focal lengths. Sterling plossl are another cheap but great value ep? For your scope I would use 7mm & 8mm ep for high power most of the time.
Other options to consider are tmb planetaries (60), Orion expanse in 6&9mm (also called synta ultra wide) or vixen lv (nlv).

For the wider field I presume you have a 2" focuser? How much do you want to spend on it? I suggest the explore scientific 68 deg 20 , 24,28mm ep's

Do you wear eye glasses? How do you find the comfort of the 10&6.5 plossl?
