It's time for a 2 inch eyepiece and i'm stuck between two.
The 30 mm GSO Super-Wide
Or the 32 mm Q70 from Orion.
Which would u prefer?

I’ve personally tested the 30mm GSO SuperWide, and found it to be excellent. I haven’t tested the Orion Q70, but generally their eyepieces are good. But I’d go with the GSO, as it is a known quantity.
30 mm GSO Super-Wide
They are actually made by the same company. GSO is Guan Sheng Optical of Taiwan, one of the largest manufactures of optical devices in the world. They contract out to anyone who wants their services.

For a modest fee and a certain minimum purchase quantity, you can even have them personalize the eyepiece instead of theirs or Orion’s. A buddy of mine did that for our astronomy club.
So, go with the lowest price you can find.
I have to say the Q70 32mm.Only because I use one and love it.Kind of bias becouse I have not used a GSO and Im not sure what kind of telescope you have.
