When you ask this question, you're going to get a barrage of posts trying to discredit some specific tech/feature, resolution/PPI/display comparisons, claims of this is better/worse than that (that are a mix of totally spot on, subjective, erroneous, hyperbolic).
I'm going to respond this way: if you've used a 6S/7 then you've used an 8, if you've used a 6S+, 7+, then you've used an 8 Plus in terms of the general experience. An X is different in a way that you really have to experience first hand since as features on website, the "feel" and cohesiveness isn't conveyed. The size comparison is more than just measurements and pixels.
If you prefer the X, enough said, however, if you prefer to have the best iPhone that uses the same general interface paradigm and tech as previous iPhones, the 8/8+ is an outstanding choice.
