I would run the smallest light with the most lumens you can get. I would avoid the plastic housing models as well.

8" is big. Make some cardboard cutouts that size and stick them up there. Drive around with them if you can. Maybe that will help you decide.

They are large and the look is of personal preference. The KC 8" long range spots do give an incredibly far reaching pencil beam, very impressive lights. I've since moved them to the bumper and put a pair of Lightforce on the windshield mounts.

X2. I think 6" looks better. You may check out some different brands as well.
