I came to the 8th in the same route as you, through Solti's recording. It's a real show of power, and reportedly, members of the Vienna Philharmonic were sitting in the hall during the recording sessions (it was recorded in Vienna) and had never heard such orchestral force before. But, after living with the piece over time and listening to other recordings, Solti's style with it didn't seem right to me.
I have the Nagano recording and I enjoy it. It's recorded beautifully, the orchestra plays spectacularly, and the soloists are generally good. I think Nagano's conception of the work and his conducting are very good. The coda to Part I is exciting - all of the scalar figures getting passed among choirs and instruments is captured wonderfully. The opening section of Part II is very slow, but I think it works and the orchestra sustains the tempo well. "Blicket auf" is gorgeous as is the closing to the symphony. I do wish he didn't take quite as quick of tempo for the coda, but it's overwhelming - in a good way.
Others you might look to: Riccardo Chailly with the Royal Concertgebouw and his more recent DVD with the Leipzig Gewandhaus. His Concertgebouw recording has one of the best vocal line-ups of any recording.
My favorite overall recording of the 8th is Gary Bertini/Cologne Radio Symphony Orchestra. It's part of this box set. It was recorded live in Tokyo. It's on YouTube here, but the uploaded sound quality is not good. Bertini's tempos are perfect (for me) top to bottom, the orchestra is great, and the soloists are top notch. The ending is truly awe-inspiring. If you listen on YT, or get a good recording, the octave jump in the orchestra and choir at 1:21:48 never fails to give me goosebumps. The closing coda is powerful, weighty, and not too fast. It would have been quite the concert experience in the hall!
