it seems the full wet was definitely the right choice for SS8

So let's list it (since we'r waiting anyway)
SWE-Lappi beat Paddon 4/5
POR - Paddon crash out early, Lappi 5th
SAR - Lappi beat Paddon 3/4
FIN - Lappi faster, but crashed out in front of Paddon on Sunday
TUR - Paddon faster, Lappi crash
GB - Lappi faster 3/7
=> Lappi wins 4 vs 1 on speed, with 1 hard to judge (POR), and that's not even going into stage wins or other indicators
Let's write it straight. The main reason you now suddenly don't like Lappi is cause he is going to Citroen.
It would be interesting to know the weather conditions on the stages. The forecasts were showing that the rain would get heavier towards noon. Would the first stage have been very wet? Will the full wet tyre be now even a better option?
You can't say how wet it is based on drops on windscreen. Don't see much standing water on the road and in any case it can be very different just a few corners away.
