What conveyor dryer do you guy thinks would be the best fit for my workhorse sabre 8/6?
Also, what are the top things I should keep in consideration choosing a conveyor dryer to buy?

almost everybody here will agree that gas is the way to go (if you can).
Call Winston and have him set you up with a used one. It's half price for a fully refurbished unit with the same warranty as the original. Your first press should be new, but my thinking is that you can get away with a used dryer. They are pretty simple machines. . .
We have an MD-8 and are supper happy with it.

we have an MD-8 and I would buy one again in a heartbeat. We bought new 10 years ago.

Not to hijack this thread, but we have a laundry mat next door to us and they have these two huge gas tanks sitting outback, our washout also sits outside in our fence inside area. I'm out cleaning screens one morning and the gas guy comes up to fill up there tanks, guy breaks the seal on the tank and propane gas starts going everywhere I had to leave the wash out, close our doors because the gas had started filling our shop and us with a flash running and dryer going, talking about a smell and heart pounding, that dude was busting his butt trying to shut that gas off, took a few hours to air the shop out, plus my wife started feeling sick from the smell.

Google what happened in Mass. over the weekend, someone screwed up at a gas company, and houses started receiving gas pressure that was up 12X! 70+ fires. It just takes one mistake...

Ditto on the MD-8, ours is a 2018 and we love it.

Should I get a electric or gas conveyor dryer?

Not trying to be rude or a smart-ass here, but read the first sentence in the first reply to your first post!
Plain and simple, if you can swing it, gas is better. Tends to be more even heat, and costs less to run.
Better results on waterbased and discharge.
Also, at least three folks recommended this particular gas dryer http://www.spsi.biz/screen-printing-equipment/conveyor-dryers/interchange-md-8-gas-dryer (http://www.spsi.biz/screen-printing-equipment/conveyor-dryers/interchange-md-8-gas-dryer)
That said, depending on what deals you can find, tens of millions of shirts have been printed just fine on electric dryers.

Sorry bout that haha, I just saw that.
Do you guys think the MD8 would be able to handle the volume of 2 autos (b/c I plan to eventually get a 2nd auto and want to purchase a conveyor dryer that can handle 2 automatic presses)
A lot of people have the MD8 is there any specific reason?
