I have the Eskimo shark 10"er. It has been great, no problems and I have used it a bunch over the last four years. True you can lose more stuff down the 10" hole, especially with kids using the equipment (my four year old has butter fingers). On the other hand I caught a fish this year on Henrys that I doubt I would of landed without the big hole, barely got him! For most fish an 8 " will work fine, just depends on where you will be doing most of your fishing. Good Luck!
