Why do some sprint spikes have 8 spikes, while the others have only 5 spikes?

I'm a track and field runner about to head into his summer track season, and I'm looking to purchase a new pair of spikes. I have been using sprint spikes (as I run the 100 and the 200) with 8 spikes attached to the bottom. Should I make the switch to a 5 spike plate?
