Default Wiseco or Mahle pistons?

I am doing a 383 build and wondering which forged piston would be best. Wiseco has better quality material while Mahle are good quality pistons for a good price. I am not going to do forced induction for a while and the max i might spray is 50 shot. I just want to get good opinions on your current setups and am I wrong for making these selections as far as pistons goes? Thanks for your input!

With only a 50 shot either one is fine, I do higher shots on hyper pistons. I think Mahle will be more than fine for you.

A 50 shot? Such a waste. Mahles are just fine.
