Default What is the most Preferred and Durable AfterMarket Piston? All EXPERIENCED Opinions Welcomed!

I've read IB's test results that say Wiseco. is the best.........I've read ALOT of threads on M24x forum claiming CP is the best choice...And have heard good and bad things about Arias, JE, Ross, etc. etc...... Last build I went with over bored CTRs, but now I have to bore over what USDM/JDM Honda pistons are available in...SO ALL GOOD or BAD Opinions on any popular aftermarket pistons are welcomed as this is somewhat new territory for me...Desired compression will be around 11.5-1.........
The setup will be: B17A motor
Omnipower Valvetrain (springs, retainers,and valves)
Skunk2 stg2 cams (for the time being)
Head already lightly ported and polished
3 angle valve job
Sleeves over bored .5mm
???PISTONS???
This will be a daily driven street motor, so they have got to be able to last a while...........

almost all u mentioned are excellent pistons. i dont think there is a best and more durable piston. their almost all really similar. what it comes down to is personal preference. i ran JEs, loved the hell out of them. the car ran faster when i yanked out the 1.8L that it ever had, this is after 2 full race seasons of abuse with no teardown. now i run wisecos, so far so good.

I've heard good things about all as well, though I'm extremely interested in Wiseco, due to their low weight and friction coatings...

I've run both JE and CP pistons, on both of them.
