the newest version of v-ray should works on 3ds max 2008. you do as you would have done in max 9 i think.

they are both really good renderers and i dont know if one of them fitts better on max2008 then the other. Mentalray is built inn so you are sure that that will work nice ;)

I'm using Vray and it works really nice into max 2008, no complains.

Mentel ray sowever can do really nice renders to, like minimus told u before

i advice you to use MR it is better than Vray and have many options

[pOv13]

i am very satisfy with vray,finally i put the RC3 version works great.the only problem for me of vray is that doesnt work the fog effect

I think Mental Ray is better integrated with max, it comes with a very good shader. And now in Max 2008 the final gather is more stable and improved in performance a lot.
I am not saying that vray is not good, but mental ray is build in.
