"Best" is oftentimes quite subjective, but I can tell you that I use a Televue BinoVue with my C14 with very pleasing results. Whether its "best" or not, I can't say, but I can say that it works very, very well. I typically use orthos in the BinoVue, but there are many good ep choices to choose from according to your own preferences.
For accessories, I use 2" filters (when necessary) on the front end of a high quality 2" diagonal which is mandatory with the C14, IMHO.
In early October, we had a few nights of unbelievably steady seeing, 8-9/10, the few-times-a-year dead calm skies which are very rare where I live in NH. The views of Saturn were beyond words (and many other objects.) I did single ep and binoviewer comparisions, and generally preferred the binoviewer mode.
