Default what are CP pistons?

i am in the market or have been for pistons and rods. i have read through many post of which pistons to get but all i really see are just names spit out with a whole bunch of people behind giving thumbs up. i have seen no favorites among JE, CP, ARIAS, and WISECO (spelling). i called camp1320 and got pricing on CP pistons and Eagle Rods with rings, wrist pins and locks for 799. not a bad deal at all i though. i kow nothing about these pistons though none of them all i know is that every body like them all. i dont know which pistons to go with i mena i dont exactly have first hand experience with them. i kind of dont wantr to get a particular brand just because one is more shiny than the other lol.

is there anyone that can throw some fact at me about these pistons that cold help me ake my deciding factor of which brand to go with? i already know im going with the EAGLE rods i just need facts to make my decision on pistons.

are they really that good? wiseco sounds like a cool name haha. those are the 2 pistons i am torn between. but i noticed that JE and SRP and some other companies are almost like sister companies or something liek that. i want a company thats their own. thats why i wanted to know who or what CP was.. i have never heard of them but all of a sudden people are using them.

are WISECO more expensice than CP?
