Default what rings to use?

im goning to be rebuilding the LS1 in my T/A and im stumped on what brand and type of rings to use. Its going to be a stock rebuild with only minor honing required so the bore size should be 3.899-3.905. The car MIGHT see a 100 shot or N2O. I have found a set of Mahle for $139.99..file fit..any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks

Mahle is a good name, also sealed power, Hastings are all good....just make sure you get the correct gap since you are going to be spraying it...

Total Seal would be worth considering as well.
