8 unit apartment building. Each unit has 2 bedroom, kitchen and living room. I need to start putting the ductwork together. I will be buying 80,000 btu furnaces. each unit has its own furnace in the kitchen. 

Some people said 6 inch pipe but some said 8 inch, i need your opinion.

Duct work is designed for flow and friction loss , you need more than 1 size
