Default .020 over too much for stock sleeves?

I'm going to be building engine at the start of this year, the engine is a B16A, and I'm debating on whether to get .010 oversize pistons or .020 oversize pistons. Reason being I've heard of people cracking their sleeves if they bored them over too much. This is my first B series build, so I'm unfamiliar with the tolerances of the B series sleeves, so if someone could help me out on this it would be much appreciated. Oh yeah, and I will be boosting on this setup by the way, the setup is SRP 9:1 pistons, eagle rods, ARP head studs, OEM headgasket, and a stock head.

go .010 oversize if you are going boost.
taking less material from the sleeves will avoid them from cracks.
are you runing high or low boost
