... if new CD is it worth to change from FLAC -8 to wavepack?
If you consider using your tracks on a DAP FLAC is the most adequate codec as FLAC is supported by several DAPs.
However you can always convert to FLAC losslessly from any other lossless codec like wavPack.
When choosing a lossless codec for archiving on pc compression ratio (minimal bitrate) is what most people look for, while taking care that encoding and decoding speed isn't too slow.
FLAC is good at encoding and very good at decoding speed. Compression ratio could be better though, especially for music coming from very few instruments. With mainstream pop/rock music differences towards other lossless codecs are rather small though.
With wavPack especially when using -h or -hh you get a better compression especially with those tracks where FLAC's compression is a bit poor. I recommend to add the -x or better -x3 option for better compression at least on occasion - you pay for it with only a small amount of increased encoding time. So you're fine using -hhx3. wavPack's speed is good too.
Oh, I see that you're planning to use wavPack in hybrid mode which is one of those features that gives wavPack such a great versatility.
