For your sanity please do not use Drupal 8! I have recently finished a very large project using Drupal 8 and it nearly killed me.

Without bashing it too much the main issues were severe lack of good documentation, bugs in the core, bugs in contributed modules and poor development workflow.

Funnily enough, as a result of this project I started investigating alternative cms's and from now on will be using Craft.

Initially I was concerned it wouldn't be suitable for a project as complex as the project above, so I spent a day or too recreating some of the more complex parts of that project with Craft and it was a dream!

The developer learning curve with Craft is one of the best I have ever seen with a cms. We now have devs who previously only did frontend using craft in no time.

Nothing but good things to say about it really!
