Between those two I'd definitely go the 8-positon over the 5-position. When you eventually go down the narrowband path, you don't want the headache of having the change filters from the filter wheel.
As for MaximDL, it depends on what you're wanting to do. In many ways I do prefer MaximDL over Sequence Gen Pro BUT if you are wanting to quite easily be able to set up automated sequences, SGP is much easier. MaximDL either requires you to get other software to do the controlling for you or you learn scripting.
