It is partly a matter of taste. Sooner or later, BIND8 will be
officially unsupported so I would not advise to start now with BIND8
but if you already have a BIND8 setup which is working, you can go on.

Things that may be good reasons to switch to BIND9:

* IPv6 transport (it appeared in the most recent BIND8, though),
* views (excellent tool if you want to have the same machine serve
  external and internal data),
* code more readable (if the project is to learn C, not to serve
  data).
