Hi Evan,
It probably depends on where you are observing from. With an 8" scope in light polluted suburbia, you will only detect traces of the brightest galaxies. In a dark sky site however, it will amaze you. At any rate, galaxies generally aren't great targets if you want to see details, they are just too faint and tenuous. That being said, any good eyepiece will help you, and if you can spring for a 2" model and your scope can take it, so much the better. I am quite partial to the Vixen LV and LVW series myself, but thats purely a personal choice.
Clear skies,
Shane
