Default Ring Selection: have choices narrowed down

I have my choices narrowed down but a question or 2.

Im trying to decide between the JE ProSeal and the Diamond ProSelect. i am seriously considering a napier 2nd ring but JE only has those with teh 1.2mm top and 1.5mm 2nd ring.

question 1: is there anyone the sells a 1.5 1.5 3.0 set with a napier second?

question 2: what sort of oil ring would be best in this sort of ring pack??

basically, my whole setup is in the sig but is also an update/fine tuning of the engine. the better rings probably wont yield a lot but.. every little bit of efficiency and such helps

id also like to thank machineistone for helping me out via pm's.

Neither JE or Diamond make piston rings, that's not a knock against them.

Total Seal and Akerley Childs are who I deal with for piston rings. Both those companies sell 1.5x1.5x3.00mm with Napier 2nd ring.

If you need a set feel free to contact me.
