Default Pistons in a LS/VTEC?

Well I have just recently bought my B18A bottem end, and starting the build up. I just wanted to know what pistons are you guys running in your LS/VTEC's?
I can get a set of P72 GSR pistons for good cost right now, that have 75,000kilometers on them for a very good price, but the compression ratio seems very low at 10.0:1 on a LS build up with a B16A head (that is the Head I will be using by the way) .
Should I wait and look for a set of P30's or justuse these ones?
ALl input will be greatly acknowledged!
