Plugged to the same Eb8 is a 8 Watt BM Nac3.5 skimmer which turns off while chiller is running, 50 Watts for scrubber pumps, 150 Watt Little Giant 4 mdq-sc, 15 watt uv and several cooling fans that are programmed to OSC every 10 seconds to keep the scrubber leds cool. The AMP1 shows 3.8 - 4.1 Amps with chiller off and with chiller running it mainly stays on 10.4 but every minute or so hits 11 or 12 Amps. Would you still suggest a EB4 to run this chiller?

The EB4 would be a better choice and my first choice for the chiller but given the current draw of the 1/3HP chiller, you should continue to be OK with the EB8.
