First character to R8??
So what characters will everyone be taking to R8 first? I spent a little this morning to get a little ahead in the game but am unsure on which of my characters is going to benefit the most from it.

None.
It's going to be one to two months before my guild completes the raid, probably. Then it will take a bit to acquire the mats.
So I don't have to even think about this for 6 weeks at the absolute minimum.
But even if I did have to think about it, the resources invested for a single stat bump equal to the stat bump between r6 & r7 are prohibitive. I'd rather get 3 characters from r1 to r5 than 1 character from r7 to r8.
So I won't re giving r8 to a single toon, not even a GL, until it's required for something I want to do in game.
Personally, I thought RCT was going to be ridiculously difficult (after I found out that there was only going to be one tier, the early rumors were unclear & I thought there might be more than one CT) in order to gate the r8 mats. And they did that.
But I also thought that this would be different from all the other relic tiers, since they were setting r8 mats up as different from all other relic materials. I actually thought that you would require r8 mats ... and nothing else.
R8 mats + anything else? Well, it just discourages the use of r8 mats because those other materials are better used elsewhere.
