I've done many resamplers over the decades (48<->32, 24,16,8) and always
used FIRs for these reasons.

Some articles on my website:

especially the 2010 articles, but the Amp Sim article might be a
helpful overview.
48k -> 8k: Filter with a lowpass with cutoff below 4k; keep 1 sample,
throw away 5, repeat.
8k -> 48k: Use 1 sample, follow it with 5 new samples of 0 value,
repeat; filter with a lowpass filter with cutoff below 4k.
Nuances:
A linear phase FIR is a popular choice for the lowpass filter (odd
length, Kaiser windowed sinc is a good choice). In downsampling, you
don’t have to calculate the samples you intend to discard, and in
upsampling, you don’t need to do the operations for added 0-valued
samples.
You want the filter stop band (above 4k) to have suitable attenuation
(Kaiser is nice for this, because you can specify it, trading off with
transition sharpness).
Advance topic: You can optimize performance by doing it in two stages
(3x, 2x). You win by noting that the first stage doesn’t have to be
perfect, and long as the second stage cleans up after it.
