Forrest sure has a large selection.

Either one would be fine. 

I like my Oshlun for 114.00 delivered. 
 
Buy two sets of Freud 8 inch dado sets and then you will always have a sharp one while the dull one is out for sharpening. Less expensive than the others and work very well. The Forrest set is fantastic but hard to justify IMO.
 
Mostly for use with hardwood, cutting tenons dados blah blah.

Suppose it will get used from time to with sheet goods but probably not often.

Im not scared by cost as i figure whatever purchase i make blade wise it will stay with me for a long long time. That being said I'm thinking Dado King..

Im inclined if i buy two sets to purchase a 6" and a 8" or a 6" and a 10". In all honesty even the 8" will probably never get used to capacity. It will however be nice to not be limited to 6" if the situation should arise. Im sure it will at some point.

My intent is to get fully geared up for a new SawStop. "Yes i went with the SawStop Warner " it was to good a deal to pass up and it gives me time to think about and source the exact vintage machine i want. Plus the thought of moving a 2000 lb machine into my basement mid winter post blizzard was daunting. The SawStop is 700lbs total and can be broken down to 300lb pieces. Plus i can always sell it for what I'm paying for it.

Im also gonna get a 40 tooth general purpose blade. Im thinking Woodworker II and the Tenryu Gold Medal 40 tooth. I figure i will get to try both and always have one on hand if the other is getting sharpened.

 
I can only speak to the Forrest Dado King 8" set.  Typical exceptional quality blades one would expect from Forrest.  Leaves an excellent dado bottom....precise....
 
I also have the Forrest 8" Dado set and have never wanted for anything else.
