At 8' long, the tank can look pretty long & narrow if you go with 24"H. I increased my depth to 26", and I'm glad that I did. (...but my tank is only 6' long).
At 26", I wouldn't want to go too much deeper because I can't then reach the botom.
My only advice would be to spend 99% of your time planning how to make maintenance easy. Tank depth might be part of that.
