Are you asking for resources that help with exegesis in general, or resources that help you exegete specific passages?

Either resource would be fine. Although I'm a little more interested in exegeting a specific passage.
As Steve said, the exegetical guide is the first place to go to for help. It's hard to make further recommendations without knowing which passage(s) you're interested in, but generally the Exegetical Summaries books are pretty good for laying out the exegetical options and guiding you to relevant commentaries and lexicons.

I concur that Exegetical Summaries is a pretty good resources. Since some books are a little antiquated, the links don't always work well to revised resources (e.g. BDAG vs BAGD)
I've also found the Lexham Bible Guides to be good material as well as Beale & Carson's Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament & NTUOT Interactive

Can anyone give me some recommendations on the Feature set of Logos 8 as I currently have not bought a base package and I wish to have some exegetical resources without having to pay for literature I will probably never use.
When you buy a base package you will always get resources you won't use (one man's goose, etc.). But it should still work out cheaper than buying the resources individually.
Which package you should buy depends on your budget, how much you want to interact with the original languages, and how many resources you want access to.
There are three feature levels: Starter, Bronze and Full. Bronze is the minimum really - full if you want to work fully with the original languages. (If you qualify for Academic discounts, there are other options.)
That means when you look at a base package, you need to be looking for Bronze and upwards as a mininum, or Silver and upwards for all the features. The more you pay, the more you get, with Silver to Platinum being the sweet spots for most people. If you can afford it, you won't be disappointed with Gold, as that adds in significant additional commentaries.
But we can't really make firmer recommendations without knowing more about your situation - especially what you will do with the exegesis. Prepare weekly sermons? Write academic papers? Work through text devotionally?
