What should I research in lab next? Th8

I use barbs even in Giwipe so I researched them
And better tanks make it easy to barch too

Barbs and giants.

Love what I've heard here, most have said barbs then pekkas. This was my initial plan but, as I said, my clan was near convincing me otherwise.

Barbarians are probably your best bet. I am th8 and have lvl 5 archers and barbs. They work great for getting loot and can two star bases with well placed troops and spells.

Since BARCH is pretty useful at your level, I would go for level 5 barbarians.

Pekka for sure
