MY favorite planetary EP with the GSO 8" is a 7.5mm LE Takahashi.
Spectacular views. Clear,crisp and ghost free.
You can even dump your coma corrector.
However with 'only' a 50 degree FOV, a driven mount is practically a necessity.
Again, however, the quality of many wide-angle EPs available today is breathtaking.
Explore Scientific's 82 degree EPs are nothing to be sneezed at nor the TMB IIs (though I find them to exhibit some ghosting).
But if I had to choose only one, it would be a 9mm Nagler.
It's pretty common to pass these over as they have that "if it's popular it must be rubbish" stigma, but they are exceptional EPs - hence their popularity.
When it's all said and done, atmospheric conditons - seeing, transparency - will have far greater effect on your views than any comaparably specced EPs.
