FS-128 eyepiece suggestions

I have a collection of eyepieces that are mostly Plossls at the longer focal lengths (32mm, 26mm, 15mm) and a 7mm Nagler and 5mm Radian at the shorter focal lengths.

I've had a Tak Fs-128 refractor (f/8.1) for about a year now, and am thinking about adding some Televue Naglers, Panoptics at the lower focal lengths. If some of you have the same or similar scope, I'd be interested in what you think would be a good set of low power eyepieces to go with this scope. My second scope is an 8" f/6 dob that I built--so the focal length is slightly longer but similar. I've read great things about a 31mm Nagler or 35mm Panoptic with the Tak. What about a 20mm Nagler as a companion? Other suggestions?

XW30 and XW40. I use them in my FS128 and it is a great way to see the sky.
