If it were me I'd be looking at the Ross forged flat top pistons. Besides durability they have at least 3 other things going for them. They have "full-round" endurance racing style skirts, helpful in keeping the thin cylinder walls intact. They have narrow ring grooves for modern thin piston rings. They sell for a good price at Summit Racing.
