It doesn't really matter which gamma setting you use. 8 bits are 8 bits & still limited to 256 shades.
I did some tests and I can't agree with this.

What is there to disagree with?
An 8 bit container is an 8 bit container.

You are wrong, sorry 
.
The Cine1 vs wdr and log gamma is a well known issue, differences are clear visible - try to test this. The C300 and C100 are a very good example, put XF100 to the same scene (with cine1) and at the side to side comparison you will see banding vs. no banding at the same scene.
It is really a very easy to repeat this.

Of course, the picture profile can have a huge impact on banding.
A profile going for maximum dynamic range will be much more sensitive to banding (fewer discrete light values per stop of light), than a profile that's crushing the picture more.
But Canon Log handles this very well, generally. It has, at least to me, a very pleasing and natural look, without being unnecessary flat. It was designed from the beginning to work in 8 bit.
