Would 8AWG cable be ok for the
ground wire or is copper strap the only thing worth it?  Total run will
be as much as 25ft.  Where can I get strap and about how much does it
cost?

I only have experience with copper strap so I can't say if it's better.  I
made my strap from copper roof flashing, sold at Home Depot stores.  It
comes in rolls both 12" and 24" wide and is sold by the foot.  I sheared it
into 2" wide strips and soldered the ends together.
