10g is more stable, it requires less maintenance, and less down-time (more can be changed dynamically, some parameters are auto-tuned). You have more options to diagnose problems, and/or to be advised by Oracle to take certain measures.

Apart from that, there is that one key feature: Support. Oracle 8i is in sustained support, which means you will still get patches for known problems, and in all other cases Oracle will dump the phone on you.
