Default Choice of pistons

If you had your choice of pistons for a turbo setup would you take the JE pistons, CP pistons or Arias pistons? I have heard good and bad about JE pistons (and would probably go with JE) but what about the two others? Thanks.

I have a set of Endyn....

See a pattern here? If you want good FI pistons, get the Endyn ones. If you wanna rebuild in 6 months choose another...

Do it right the first time... it's cheaper...

Thanks to all the great replies. I have been looking at Endyn for less than a year now. I'm going to go with the Endyn pistons because of the response from TR. Wonder if they will ever sell their supercharger kit

<edit>
What rods did you all go with? I'm looking at the Eagle H-Beam 4340 forged chromoly steel connectiong rods.

i personally have JE's and i havent had a problem with them. i melted an srp on 13psi so i wouldnt quite recommend those. if i had a choice with money being no factor id go with wiseco's due to the relocated wrist pin location which avoids thin, detonation prone areas on the corners of the valve cuts on the top of the piston. one weak spot common on most after market pistons
