It comes down to what your budget is and what each manufacturer has as a shelf piston. CP and Diamond are nice, CP are a little pricey, but the quality is exceptional. Diamond are very good also. Wiseco are good bang for buck. Mahle is another piston I would look into.

I like Diamond , very nice pistons and if you need something semi custom they are easy to work with to make a couple of small changes , like moving the pin to where it needs to be which could be very important because aftermarket rods are SHORTER than original mopar rods by .008.
If you are trying to get a certain head to piston clearance and you are not paying attention and all of a sudden your .035 desire turns into .055 because the deck is not where it needs to be , the rods are shorter and your crank that was turned .010/.010 lost a little stroke ...
Measure EVERYTHING first before buying the pistons ...
running up my post count some more .
