My very favorite Bruckner 8 is Schuricht (famed for the uber expensive ASD, but also a fabulous balanced performance).Also like Tom B., I am quite the Bruckner fanatic and for some interesting other choices
Klemperer Bruckner 8 (but not the last movement alas; Klemp decided he could compose better than Bruckner and makes disfiguring cuts, a big shame because the first three movements are so good)
Also Mravinsky has a great Bruckner 8 (but avoid his Bruckner 9th like the plague)
and of course Furtwangler who has a not to be believed Bruckner 6 recorded in about 1943-44 on (experimental) magnetic tape but unfortunately a torso, the first movement was not on available tapes;plus several outstanding Bruckner 8s
I give a strong endorsement to the Guilini and Barbirolli 8s as well.
