Beginner looking for eyepieces.

Hey Everyone,

New to forum and quite new to astronomy. I am looking to get some new EP's.

I have a Saxon 8" f/6 newtonian reflector on an EQ4 mount. 10mm and 25mm standard plossls.

I want to get some new eyepieces so I can see the planets and nebulas up close. I can get pretty good views of mars and saturn with the 10mm plossls but I think it can improve if I buy some higher powered/better quality Ep's.

I was looking st some of the eyepiece kits such as the Meade 4000 and Celestron Kits, But I don't know that I would need all of them. I am leaning towards getting a couple decent eyepieces instead of a whole kit. But maybe a kit would be good for a beginner? I'm not sure.

The question is, what would be some good eyepieces to get nice views of the planets and deep sky objects with out breaking the bank, of course?
