Hi,
Just any decent plossl will do.... Sky-Watcher Plossl or Super Plossl, Antares FMC Super Plossl, ScopeTronix's ST Plossl and etc...

Ultimas are somewhere in the mid range area where they are sometimes compared to even TeleVue Plossls.

I guess in our amateur community, the most well known and good value for money foundation eyepieces (at the very minimum) usually refer to those 'Super Plossl' type eyepieces - y'know, those black bodied ones with foldable rubber eyecups and rubber grip ring as pictured below.

I like the Meade series 4000 plossl...value for money but made in china...

They are parfocal, of good quality and is available in a variety of sizes.
For a 76mm Borg, try to stick to the pieces that WeiXing recommended to you in the other thread.

Hi,
I think her 76mm scope is the Takahashi FC-76.
