hehe, you say titanium rods and inexpensive so casually. I'd say the best piston for your application is the PCT piston (Civic Type R B16B). They're ~$300, and will raise your compression (somebody help, the CR calculator is broken again!)

You'll be fine N/A w/ stock rods.

CTR pistons and a 2-layer headgasket will yield you just aoubt a 11.1:1 compression, which is much better than the stock compression on the B16. And while its apart, since your on a budget, have the stock B16 rods shotpeened, for a little more strength.
