I wouldn't be able to tell you who has a better ink quality, but I would suggest you purchase a small amount of the ink to test it out yourself.

As for the CLI-8 vs the CLI-521 ink, there shouldn't be an issue. The ink is basically formulated for Canon cartridges, so you should be okay. Also, both cartridges use dye based ink, so just make sure that whatever ink you do decide to purchase, that the formula is dye based.
