8-point sockets are the ones meant to fit square bolt heads. I have 3 of them in a Stanley socket set I have. It's more of a convenience thing to have 6 and 12-point sockets. 6-point sockets are stronger, and are better for bolts that need to be really tight, like most everything on a car, but 12-point sockets are more convenient because they can fit on the nut or bolt in twice as many positions as a 6-point socket.
