Floyd, in my case, it all depends on WHAT I'm looking at...
I mainly use my 10" f/10 SCT, so for Large/Wide DSOs I need to maximize my FOV, and for that I use Wide-Field Eyepieces... (I even have to use my reducer/corrector for some objects...)

For not so large DSOs, (like GCs for example), I find my 14mm UWA a beautiful eyepiece...

For planetary observation I rely mainly on my UO Orthos, as I want to concentrate on the Planet itself, and all the extra FOV is not really necessary (also less glass, better light transmission, more subtle detail available)

Thank you guys, yes, my wife is fine...

This one lady was talking on her cell phone and did not pay attention to her RED LIGHT, ran through it at full speed, slamming my pickup truck (which my wife was driving at the time) and destroyed completely the passenger side (Thank God nobody was in the car with my wife when this happened!)(my truck spun 180 degrees and landed on the side!) 8O
