I suspect this all depends on how one configures the instrument to capture data. Configuring it to capture a brief time interval (30 sec?) of "good" power quality once but then the same time interval before and after a preset anomaly trigger level will allow this to be monitoring until its batteries die.

Depends on several things. Are you planning on capturing wave events/transients that exceed certain limits? Those capture events are at 200 kS/s. You are able to capture up to 9,999 waveform events. Depending on how you set your limits, you may get a lot or very few waveform captures.
Logging data of course uses a lot less memory. And that will depend on how you set your averaging time. The default is a 1 second averaging time. The range of logging intervals is 0.25s to 2 hours. If you log data every 2 hours, you will be dead long before you fill up an 8 gig card.
The best thing to do, is to set up the instrument with your configuration and let it run for an hour. That will give you a yardstick to estimate the duration that an 8G card will collect data.
Yes. The equipment manufacturer will be happy to help over one of those under-utilised facilities these days - the telephone call.
