OK, I could use some clarification as the two answers seem to contradict or else I do not understand something.

All I care about is the "Best Share" stat. I don't care about the value of the corresponding hash, unless that is the same thing. Is it as simple as looking for a value of 8000872134 (current difficulty minus 1) or is Best share a different value? I guess even though I know what it is, I don't know what "Best Share" actually represents.

Sorry for the confusion I was thinking bestshare was showing the hash not the difficulty.  Yes Best share is the highest difficulty share you found.  The best one which still doesn't solve a block is difficulty - 1.

Best share represents the highest difficulty share your miner has found.  If that value is greater than the target difficulty of the block, congratulations, your miner has generated a block.  If that value is lower than the target difficulty, then it is meaningless.
