My question is just to know, in my case (audio post), what is the best Mac Pro for me Quad or 8-core ?

I am not on PT10 HD|X yet... but my thoughts are that for your situation, the HD|X card might be enough for your needs on a Quad core. An 8-Core might future proof you to some extent if your needs grow. With AAX, I imagine that you could get more plugins on an 8-core. So I think the Quad would be fine, but I might get an 8-core to hedge against any future expansion.
I would also get more like 18-24 GIGS of RAM. Yes, the application will only take 4 G now, but RAM cache and OS may need/want more. And once AAX is totally implemented, PT will be 64 bit. (Which to me is another reason to get the 8-core).
If money is super tight, get the Quad. If not, then.....
