    Need to know if this is residential or commercial?

    Is the 200 Amp breaker the main for the service?

    Running conduit or cable for the 200 Amp feeder?

    And I do not know what this means:

    what do you think when tieing in 8 20 amp breakers

    You need to be more descriptive.

    Distance is also important, as well as Aluminum or Copper. Is the Power going uphill or downhill?
