The rafter company can build to meet whatever snow load you want using 4 or 8 ft spacings. It just means the 8 ft spaced rafters are heavier. If you are going to put steel or whatever on the ceiling go with the 4 ft spacing. You won't have to add any members to nail the ceiling to. The added cost of the 4 ft spacing will be saved in labor and materials when finishing the ceiling.
