IMO there's still a ton of development your team can do within 4-6-8 wheel drives.

Once you've iterated through those, the only one I'd suggest next would be butterfly or octocanum. But, I'd say continue on the route of further refining your drives. Try belts in a 6 or 8wd, try custom gearboxes, try new wheels, etc...
