The question itself is not realistic. EVENTUALLY you will get another and another. You will need more than one eyepiece eventually. SO, the real question is which one should you get first.

My suggestion is that you get the longest focal length, and the widest field you can afford for your first. Get the best becaue you will be building an eyepiece set eventually, and there is no reason to start with less than the best you can afford.

Meanwhile, join a club and bum off others, as in--"Hey, would you mind loaning me your ....... so I can see how it works in my scope."
