BINTEL (GSO) dielectric diagonals are very good & excellent value for money.

Having had one with the SCT screw on adapter on a Meade 8" LX90, I actually recommend getting a 2" visual back & then a diagonal with the 2" nosepiece that slips into it...

I found the screw on diagonal to be a PITA just quietly, requiring several goes at getting it tight & in the right position.. whereas, screw on a 2" visual back & then just slip in the diagonal & tighten the thumb screws.. far easier...

As to eyepieces... how much do you want to spend? There are plenty of 'budget' or less expensive eyepieces that deliver great views...

Cheers
