RE: Single dedicated line

The likely reason your electrician asked you about running 8ga wire to the outlets is that he's probably figuring out how much extra he's going to charge you for the PITA trouble associated with working with wire that big and stiff. 10ga is a ROYAL PITA to work with inside of junction boxes. I cannot imagine how difficult 8ga would be. You might also want to check your chosen outlets to see if they'll even handle 8ga. IMO, 8ga to the outlets is plain crazy. Go with 12 or 10.
