I prefer the 8 pellet. The 9 pellet load consistently has one flyer pellet out of every shell.
I'm definitely down for some if LG ends up getting them in though FWIW I'm not at all uncomfortable with my current 8-pellet FliteControl and I don't feel any less capable with it loaded in my 870.

Hornady's TAP and Critical Defense are 8-pellet loads that use Versatite wads, which I believe Doc has said are similar to Federal's FC.
Options are good.
The Critical Defense 00 load is over 400 fps faster than the 8-pellet FliteControl (and you can feel every bit of that when you shoot it). Considering 00 FliteControl does about 20" in ordnance gel, I'm not sure a 33% increase in velocity is the best idea accountability-wise.
That TAP round might work. Like you said the Versatite wad is essentially identical to the FC, I think they are both paying royalties on the same patent. The CD round doesn't pattern anywhere near as good as FC out of my Benelli or 590A1. Both with cylinder barrels which is ideal for that wad. I think it's because of the extra velocity the wad separates faster. The Federal loads use shot buffer which helps too whereas the Hornady doesn't. I might have to find some of that TAP just to find out how close it gets to the FC.
