OK, now here is one item you need to think about, an 8 foot ladder in general may not fit in a 8 foot ceiling, you need consider how you will setup the ladder, you may not be able to tilt it as is is longer than 8 feet. The same goes if you have the ladder closed, it may be longer than with the legs extended. While hard to find, I would go with a 9 foot ladder for the 10 foot ceilings and 11 foot for the 12 foot.

My wife bought me one of those ladders that folds and extends, so for working with the ladder leaning on the wall it can be adjusted in 1 foot increments, same goes when it is setup like a conventional free standing ladder, but is is limited to 6 feet.
Hope this helps.
