Time to do the soffit and fascia. The sub fascia is 2x6.  I plan on using an engineered product like LP Smart Side trim for the fascia. Do I put 1x8 on the fascia so it extends beyond the soffit?

Generally I make sure that the facia board extends at least 1/2 - 3/4" lower than the finished soffit material.  That allows somewhat of a drip edge for the water to fall and not run back into or on the soffit.
