I need a better eyepiece.

Hi all, awhile back when I started out I bought a set of 1.25" eyepieces for my 8" reflector. Anyway after sorting out collimation issues etc I never really was 100% happy with the image as I always had triangle like distortion on bright stars. Now that I've started playing around with digital astrophotography it dawned on me that the distortion was not present on my images. Last night I did some more photos & then swapped back to eyepieces & the old problems is back. I have now released my eyepieces from ebay are just too cheap & nasty! I have 40mm, 30mm, 20mm, 10mm, 6.5mm & 4mm 1.25" plossi & I mostly use the 40mm & the 20mm eyepieces.

What I wish to ask is can someone recommend a better quality eyepiece at a reasonable price & where to get them from.

Cheers.
