Between those 2, I'd recommend definitely gt8. It has more knobs and features so it can take a while to tweak the sound you like.Are u going to use them with an amp or power amp+cab setting?
Regarding the software, there are many choices; you'll need an audio interface to connect the guitar and be able to hear it with no latency(delay). You need to learn about them and know what is the best. The easiest solution is go for line 6's POD. Then you can use it with their software (Gearbox and Pod Farm-they come with the device and needs download) with your computer for late night jamming or to record. But then you can also use it with regular amps. So you might NOT need the boss gt after all. Pod is jack of all trade and you probably you won't need anything beside pod if you're a beginner.
