Transferring VHS and Beta to DVD using my Sony DVD recorder. I've found the quality so far very good. I've just acquired a Sony Digital8 camcorder that allows analog-DV passthrough. If I use it in the middle, will that provide video quality benefits to me over just connecting my tape players to the DVD recorder directly using S-Video / RCA?

If your dvd recorder can handle the analog video fine, I wouldn't put something in between it because that's just another encoding place that can lose a generation of quality. Best to have the shortest and most direct connection.

If you don't need to edit the video, just stick with direct tape-to-DVD recorder. It will save you time.
