I'm using the official version atm, would it be a good idea to switch to one of these betas? Using -q8

It's definitely worth switching.  The official version has not been tuned at settings above about q6, so it starts to get hugely wasteful of bits by q8.  Though I don't hink Garf paid a lot of attention to levels quite that high, q5 and q6 were improved, and these improvements should have had a knock-on effect.  So it's likely you could use the new version at q7 and not notice any difference, except smaller files!

But I'd suggest something more - if you want to stay with ogg (a fine decision IMHO) then try encoding with the new Garf version at q6 - I suspect you won't notice any difference, except for significantly smaller files.  You could probably get away with q5 even, but if you have enough room for the existing q8 then new q6 should be a big enough improvement!
