Trent, it will depend on which version of the 8" GSO you have. They come in f/4, f/5, and f/6. If yours is f/6 you might get away with Superview's, but any faster and they are a bit iffy.

I've owned a couple of Superview 42's and found them rather nasty, even in an f/6 scope. Good quality Plossl's perform better.

The shorter ones, like the 15mm and 20mm Alex mentions may be ok, I've tried the 15mm in a refractor and it's not bad.

Cheers,
Jason.
