Default forged pistons and rods for ls1

What brand is the best bang for buck pistons for a stock bore 346 ls1? I also need a recommendation for forged rods as well. I will be using the stock crank. Thanks!

Awesome, I will shop around for the best deal. did you guys stay with the ls1 or did you go with a 5.3/6.0 for more strength? I'm trying to offset the weight of the turbo setup with the lighter engine and aftermarket k member. Before I spend the cash on my ls1, I've been thinking about the 6.0...

I wanted light weight so I have an LS1. It should still dip into the 4's though.
