There are obviously several different ways to say this but of the choices you provided I would go with the first one but make it plural. "eight and half a kilos" because we are talking about more than one kilo.
Some other ways to say it are:
eight and a half kilograms
eight point five kilos
eight point five kilograms

Eight and a half kilo
