Oh, you didn't include a question mark there, so I assumed it wasn't a
question but rather you stating the dilemma.
Ideally, you'd combine the advantages of both approaches using e.g.:
./john -w=input.lst --rules=best64 --min-length=8 --stdout | ./unique output.lst
assuming that the first rule is to keep words as-is. Then you'd use
output.lst either with JtR itself or with another tool like EWSA (why?)
Here, input.lst is your original wordlist with the mixed-case lines
still intact.
If the first rule isn't to keep words as-is (not a colon, ":"), then you
can revise the command e.g. to:
(./john -w=input.lst --min-length=8 --stdout && ./john -w=input.lst --rules=someother --min-length=8 --stdout) | ./unique output.lst
or you can indeed add a colon to the start of the "someother" ruleset,
then use the simpler command.
