Default what pistons to use? (B18c1 block & B17 head)

Im guessing this is a poormans' ITR, and I've read about a lot builds, but what pistons would work the best for daily street driving?

OS JDM B16 pistons
OS JDM ITR pistons
OS JDM CTR pistons

I think the CTR pistons will push the CR a little too high, So I'm leaning towards either the ITR or b16.

The B16 give a little higher CR than the ITR, but will it be that much of a differnce between the ITR and the B16 pistons?

The head will stay stock for a few months till I can afford to build that too.

B18c1 Block - No mill or resurfacing
B17 Head - No mill
Stock Headgasket

I've checked c-speedracing.

I just want to know what piston would be better for everyday street driving on 93 octane gas.

If the CTR Pistons will be ok for street driving on 93 octane, than I will use those, but I dont want to have my compression so high that it would be causing problems.

I need a good daily driving motor. Don't want the CR too high.

Just want to know what pistons have worked the best for a daily driver setup.

During the debate about compression ratio it was found that this site

http://www.zealautowerks.com/index.html

had better accuracy.
