Default H/C Install, which injectors to upgrade to?

I currently have the usual air in/air out stuff...K&N FIPK, P/P TB, LS6 intake, LT Headers and TSP True duals...

I've already bought but not installed APE Ported/Coated Oil pump, MTI G1 Cam, MTI S2E Heads, rods, rocker arms...will soon get a pulley and injectors...

Because I have a 2000 I know I need to replace the 26.4lb injectors, but can I stay with the 28.8 lbs ($50) or do I need to look at some in the low 30 lb range for quite a bit more $$?

I used Delphi 36lb injectors ($39/ea) for my H/C...these are a little on the big side for just H/C, but Mikey @ Rapid was able to tune around them...I figured I would go with a little bigger injector than necessary to give me some flexibility for future upgrades...you would probably get better info if you posted this in the fueling section, though.

I haven't been able to get any good info from the fueling forum on injector questions...

I'm running the 28.8's (which are about "24's" the way everyone else rates their injectors) and they were good for 390+rwhp on my automatic, but they were getting a little close.

30's should be plenty (20% bigger than "24's") and they're very reasonably priced.
