Sending the synth to guitar speakers is a big tonal compromise so avoid it if at all possible. As Darren said, seperate the two and send the synth to the PA. Using a dual mono power amp rig could be cool in smaller venues and rehearsals but you need that second cab to be a full range unit, like a PA speaker, or a bass cab at worst. You could maybe grab a powered PA wedge for that kind of use.

The Graphtech saddles are the best option IMO, though there others. They'll put an 8 string set together no problem, this is what I have them do for me via my local distributor. However, synth-ing all 8 strings is a little complex and compromised (depending on how you do it, and I know you don't want to be doing it the uncompromised way.... ie. 2 simultaneous synth rigs), so it might be best if you just get a set of 6 + 2 standard saddles, assuming you don't want a piezo output as well.
