Whatever you pick, consider getting coated or having them coated. Apparently it makes a big difference in noise and helps reduce heat transfer to piston.

If you want coated pistons, does this impact the diameter of the piston?

In other words, if you want coated pistons do you have to start with a smaller piston ....or is the coating only used on the top and skirts which does not increase the diameter of the piston?
