I'm trying to keep my EP budget around ~$120 for now. I can't decide between getting a ~12mm EP and a barlow or just one good ~6mm EP. I'm thinking about getting a Baader Planetarium Hyperion, but can't decide between 5, 8, 10 or 13mm and/or barlow to go with it.

You may wish to peruse ebay, as well. You can usually find a variety of both planetary and wide field eyepieces that are relatively inexpensive.
