WO Bino eyepiece pairs

I have been using a Williams Optics bino viewer for a while now ( thanks Meru!) in my 150mm f8 frac. The WO comes with a pair of 20mm 66* eyepieces that are really good. I'll soon be getting a Siebert diagonal which will allow me to use the bino's without the 1.6X corrector.
In mono mode I have the ES's in my signature a GSO 15mm Superview plus a few GSO plossls 32 25 20 and 15mm. Eye relief is not important in mono mode and hope the same applies for stereo viewing...is that right? I Could double a couple of the ones I have, or maybe Astro Tech Paradagims?
Recommendations...? After longer and shorter FL to go with the supplied 20mm's.

Smile Bino eyepiece options.

I have the GSO 15mm Superviews in my WO bino, and they are there 95% of the time. I tried GSO 15mm Plossls and couldnt always get images to merge, no such problem with the Superviews. Also gave the GSO 25mm Plossls a shot, but saw no advantage over the supplied WO 20mm oculars,(fields of view fairly similar but the WO were to me better in that the extra magnification was an advantage.

Thanks Stephen. FWIW I have gone with the 15mm GSO Superviews and a pair of Vixen NPL 30mm plossls. I tried the 20mm WO SWA's with a 2X barlow on Jupiter the other morning and the view was sensational in my 6"frac with a Badder semi apo filter. Might re think the Siebert diagonal.
