I'm very happy with an 8 I got after the 9 came out. I think 8a is cheaper? Like the other post says, you may find better deals on the 9a once the 10a comes out. But I'd say an 8a should be fine.
Iirc I read complaints that the Pixel 8 had a screen glass with curves at the edges which made it difficult to apply a tempered glass screen protector. If protecting the screen from damage with a tempered glass screen protector is important to you then I'd recommend double-checking whether the model you're looking at works fine with such protection. (I don't think I've seen anything about the newer Pixel models having that issue, but it doesn't hurt to double-check.)
