For max muscle growth, how many sets and reps should I do?
Was thinking 8x6 or 6x10.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
You should work in all rep ranges if you want the maximum benefit. 5, 10, 12, it doesn't matter. As long as you're getting stronger (on anything but 1RMs), eventually you'll get bigger .. or you won't be getting any stronger.
way, way, way too much, unless you're including warmups in all that.

then 2x5-8 for compound work, 2x8-12 for isolation work.

The question of what rep scheme to primarily use is a big question, but the fact is, as long as you're training progressively in a reasonable rep range, you'll get stronger and therefore bigger (if your diet is in check).
There's thousands of ways to train...Even the notion that very low reps don't make you grow is wrong (they will if done in enough volume). Schemes such as 5x3 and 8x2 are used a lot in westside barbell routines and most people do really well on those sorts of routines.
i.e. on a basic 3day split just grab your exercises and just do 3x5-8

A question like this shows your missing the big picture and have greater problem, which i think is wanting FAST INSTANT results based on the threads you've been posting here. I know your new and i'm willing to help you if you want but i'll need you to change your perspective by reading the idiots guide to growth, A-Units stickied post, and search for Squat for Big Arms and read that as well.
