Default Which pistons should I buy?

It's been a long time since I purchased pistons. This time around, it's for a 68 400 that will be built to stock HO specs with the typical 068 grind cam and #16 heads. It will only be used on the street. I have this exact combination in another engine I built a while back with old school forged pistons and it runs great.

The question is which way to go for pistons? I'm of the philosophy of buying good quality stuff with a build it once and leave it alone mentality. I'm fine with spending a little more for peace of mind, but no point in buying big dollar stuff for racing use that the engine will never see.

So, what brand / type of material makes sense? I've been looking at the Speed Pro forged and KB Hypereutectic flat top pistons.

I appreciate your opinions.

Thanks
Old Joe
