Bore it as little as you can, based on what you can get for pistons, or are required to in order to get 'perfect' cylinders.

Its only OEM and SRP pistons that come off-the-shelf in 75.25mm size, aftermarket forged are 75.5mm unless you custom order them. Just make sure you get the pistons, THEN bore it. You want to size the bores to the pistons, based on the piston mfg's recommended clearances.
