Default how important is matching piston to rings Brand names

I picked up a set of manley pistons a little while ago and they recommend using manley file to fit rings. How important is it to use manley rings? Can I use any rings, do they have to be file to fit? they are 4.030" pistons. thanks

The brand of rings is not important. Make sure that you buy good quality rings that match the ring lands on your pistons. Yes you do have to file to fit.
