Hi Steve

I use NINA and PHD2 together. I just had a massive improvement recently in guiding performance by removing as much backlash from my mount as possible. Have you checked for backlash? I had zig zag guiding graphs and it was frustrating.
Guiding software is only as good as your hardware.

Others have gone over ensuring you use pulse guiding, and using USB (not ST4). But also make sure your balancing is right. The EQ8 is an awesome mount, but you still need to ensure you're a little easy heavy in both RA and Dec. You can get very weird spikes in RA and Dec if you haven't balanced properly.
