I think you will come out on top with the H.
The 8n is a flat head, H is overhead valves. The 8n is around 20 hp, IH C is around 20 hp and I think the H is around 30 hp, which is about what the NAA ford is. The NAA was ford's first attempt at overhead valve.
I think the 8n has the hydraulic pump inside the rear end, is a vane pump, and it only works when the PTO is spinning. You would know this because you have an 8N. Neither the 8N and IHC have live PTO. The NAA ford had a vane pump, but it was attached directly to the motor, so it was live hydraulics. My IH C is live hydraulics and I think the H is also.
I've had to rebuild the hydraulics on my NAA, pump and lift cover, BPIA. It is very pricey if you can't rebuilt the pump yourself. Haven't had the first problem with my IH C hydraulic, with the exception of a little oil drip from the lift box. Nothing I'm going to get upset over. Go to the ford or ford N series sight and it seems you will find many people with hydraulic problems, more than you will here.
Love the ride of my IH C over the ride on my NAA. Can't beat the big seat and big spring. Only bought the NAA for the 3-pt. If I had it to do over, I would look for a 600 or 700 series ford with a live PTO and external hyd.
Farmall experimented with the 2 pt hitch, but I don't think you'll find that many attachments for the 2 pt. When I was looking for add on 3 pts for my IH C they were very pricey. I put a 6 ft woods belly mower on my IH C and a heavy hitch to pull a trailer with. Don't have any other attachments for it. Besides, I wouldn't want to remove the belly mower.
I would dump the 8N in a heart beat and feel sorry for your friend.

Today's Featured Article - Uncle Cecil's Super A Lives Again - by Mike Purcell. A week or so out of most of my childhood summers was often spent with my Uncle Cecil and Aunt Sissie in the small East Texas town of Maydelle on their 80 acre farm. Some of my fondest memories of these visits are those of learning to drive a tractor at the helm of Uncle Cecil’s 1948 Farmall Super A. Uncle Cecil was the second owner of this wonderful little tractor, but it was almost as though he had adopted an infant. The original owner was a man from Minnesota who bought her from a local dea
