Odds are they will be exactly the same as the ones that came with your scope. What eyepieces came with the scope?
Plossl EPs are a fairly standard design that is used in most of these scopes. Often times you will get 2, a 25mm and a 10mm. For 95% of viewing the 25mm is the one to use. Getting better EPs is usually a good idea, but beware, it can be expensive. A wider apparent field of view is often nice, Bintel do a Superview EP that is $59 for the 15mm which has a 68 deg FOV compared to a Plossls 50deg and gives 60x in your scope.
Would suggest, trying out other peoples EPs at a club night before spending the hard earned!
