HD8 rocked, to be totally honest. As did 9, and 10. I still use every one of those versions on several rigs here at the studio. However, HD12 has some really important features that I now rely upon, so as a mixing and processing tool it's invaluable. But, I still use HD10 in our main tracking room as well as for editing as it's far superior and seemingly crash proof. Use whatever tool works best for you, I say.
