Steve, the 10" would have the higher theoretical resolution, therefore be able to discern smaller surface features on objects....but whether you actually get to see anything more is largely up to seeing conditions (and scope thermal equilibrium, collimation, etc).

Added to that, the 8" with its shorter focal length will be a little more forgiving when it comes to DSO imaging, but still...not as forgiving as a shorter focal length scope.
