If your loading for skeet only I would go with #9. It holds a few more pellets and I need all the advantage I can get.

If you can't get #9 then go with #8, next best.

9s vs 8s

Duffy.. to be honest ...in the 12 ga you won't swee any difference between 8s or 9s. especially at skeet distances. In the smaller gauges below the 20 it makes a bit of difference...especially in the 410. But even there I use 8 1/2s sometimes. Mainly for windy days. In fact I was loading only that one size for quite a while and saw no difference in my scores. Even with a marginal pellet hit with 8's it will usually break a target. For something so fragile clay targets really are hard to break So in the 12 and 20...8s are just fine
