Don't know if you are running current OpenSolaris or can wait for Solaris 10 11/06 (should be released in November).
Either of those will contain raidz2 (which is like raid6 where you lose 2 disks). For max space with some redundancy, I would make one raidz2 vdev of all 8 disks. You will get the space of 6 disks, and can you can lose *any* 2 disks. Don't know if that helps...
