Default what piston/rod combo for forged 5.3

Im looking to go with weisco pistons but need help with what Rods to get. Some people say eagle's some say comp. I want a rod that will hold 1k hp to the flywheel.

So what is everyone using for there fi setups?

I do know people are making that hp on stock pistons rods just want to put forged rods/pistons for piece of mind.
