I prefer 10 x 42's as opposed to 8 x 42's for grab and go binoculars, notwithstanding they have a narrower FOV. You can see more with the 10x. I have 7 x 50's which I never use and had a pair of 8 x 40's which I sold.
The important thing is to learn to hold them properly. This is just as important as the size IMO. You will find hundreds of pictures, videos and commentary on the internet on how you should hold binoculars for astronomy and 90% of them are wrong IMO. I can hand hold my 16 x 60's for reasonable periods using the right technique. I will add some links demonstrating the best way to hold binoculars later today.
Cheers
