I'd go for 16G and I'll not own another computer that can't or doesn't have at least 16G.
I have a lot of tabs open as I surf and the browser (Safari) eventually eats up a lot of memory, and I've usually got a few other programs open.
And if I've got a video going, the slowdown is worse.
The conventional wisdom is 8 is enough with an SSD. I'm not happy with that. Closing up the programs I'm not immediately using, and some web pages speeds things up and reduces beachballs, not that I get a LOT of them. Maybe it's just me, but that's my take, and I don't want to live like an animal.
So it's 16Gs minimum for me.
