I run 8.6 on a 5300cs and a 5300ce, mostly because I can. OS 9 was just too much of a pooch for my tastes. But I think that the _best_ OS for the 5300 series is probably either 7.6.1 or 8.1. If you need more modern features, 8.1 might give you some of those. If all you care about is the nice platinum eye-candy in OS 8.x, you can install 7.6.1 and the Appearance Control panel and extensions for OS 8.1.
