Never tried them myself but the Starguiders from FLO have many fans and have been written about but a lot of people on site with their many names. Lots of bang for the buck in these as a beginner I don't see you will go wrong with this choice.

Hello, and welcome to SGL.

Here are some recent threads asking about good starter eyepieces:

The BST Starguiders (a.k.a. Astrotech Paradigm, etc.) that you mention will perform well in your telescope, and give a reasonably wide apparent field of 60 degrees. You would probably need to spend at least twice as much to get anything noticeably better.

You don't say how much you have to spend (and bear in mind that prices are currently significantly higher in most places due to covid issues) but you may also want to consider a zoom eyepiece (see the threads above for some opinions). You will need to pay a bit more than the cost of a Starguider, but it will cover a range of several fixed eyepieces, so overall it's probably a cheaper option.
