I am wondering whether to get refillable carts and go with UT7+PK or try eboni 6 (or perhaps use HP ink). Is it safe to use eboni 6 in a 7800 without constantly agitating the carts? Would UT7 be safer?

I would not use Eboni-6 or any blended B&W inkset in a wide format printer without agitating the carts.
 
See page 4 of http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/4K+.pdf

When inks are composed of more than a single pigment type, keeping the tones from shifting is very tricky.  Eboni-6 is not the only B&W inkset that ought to be agitated in wide format printers.
