I thought I read somewhere that it's better to have four instances setup with two cpu's each then having one instance with 8 cpu's. Thoughts?

Thanks for the question :)
My thoughts:
There's one way to find out for sure, a little experiment to do.
Make a new google account, register new Pool account.
Sign up for google cloud. Create 3 instances - 1 with 8 cores (8CPU), and 2 with 2 cores(2CPUa & 2CPUb).
Install boinc and connect each of them separately to the same account.
Sign them all up for the same project.
Run them all for a week.
Check your hosts panel for details.
If
8CPU-MAG > 2* (2CPUa+2CPUb)
then
It's more efficient to run 1x 8 core, than 4x 2 core
else
4x2core is more efficient
