I will say that a 8s1p pack will be superior to using 4 2s1p packs. Generally most of the lipo mfgs use some sort of cell matching process when they assemble a pack. The cells are tested and similar ones are grouped together. Thus cell performance is close. This means the pack with matched cells will stay in balance better than a selection of packs wired in series.
If you have a good high wattage 8s cpable charger 1 8s pack will be mucg easier and quicker to charge. If you have 4 smaller chargers that can only do 4-5s lipo then having the 2s packs may be better.
You will have more complex and lengthy wiring for the 4 2s packs, which will hinder performance somewhat. I would say that if you can package a 8s pack in your rc that would be best. Fail that, 2 4s packs would be the next best suggestion, with a charger and wiring harness that can balance charge those 2 packs together.
