Default best piston rings for stock size bore

Just curious if there is any difference besides price from the LS6 piston rings, to the diamond, federal, total seal stuff?

I'm gonna gamble on the Total Seal Gapless rings and say you'd find better performance with them. Almost no blow-by means more expanding gases are available to push on the pistons, as well as increase compression, suck more fuel in, etc. Plus, without the blow-by, your oil won't be getting as contaminated, meaning you could go a little further on your oil before changing it if you wanted to(KEY WORDS: if you wanted to). If/when I find a deal on anuther LS1 to replace the one in the T/A, I'll redo it with the Gapless rings and let everyone in on the results.
