I'd hesitate to recommend #8 shot for home defense. It's meant for hunting small birds, and as such not very well-equipped to neutralize a human-sized threat – especially with a revolver's reduced muzzle velocity. That said, at close range this ammo could very well prove lethal, and its reduced tendency to penetrate walls could suit it better for home defense in apartments or condos. I would prefer double or triple-aught buck just like you say, although I understand it's extremely hard to come by at present.
