Default Best "reasonably priced" ring set for boosted 4.020 build?

Need some rings for the 4.020 JE pistons I bought from a buddy. They are .020 over. He is including a set of generic "Enginetech Rings" that have "Premium Ductile Top Rings". I figure if I am going through all this work I don't want to cut a corner on the rings but money is def. a huge consideration.

I see that a lot of folks used to recommend the Hell Fire rings by FM/Speedpro but they don't seem to be as redibly available and I don't see any of them for a 4.020 bore (the closest is for .035 but I am not sure if it is acceptable to file one down that much).

What ring set would you put on a ~20psi 6 liter build (forged pistons/rods/stock crank) ~800rwhp for the money?

That's an oddball ring size man. It going to be hard to find a ring that size for a cheap price. I wouldn't skimp on rings though.
