Dont cut yourself short by buying cheap pistons on a motor you are planning on pushing alot of HP through. I would buy a good quality set of pistons, its something I would skimp on buy thats just me.

My wisecos have 18 or 19 cc dishes and with 74cc heads that puts me at 9.3:1 with a .05 HG I believe(its either .05 or .054 cant remember). Wiseco can make you whatever dish you want, mine were totally custom pistons so if you went that route you could get the exact dish you need.

I honestly believe the custom prices have come down so far because the custom pistons are now in such high demand. Take a look at diamond's catalog these days -- kinda crazy what they stock.
Yeah, I totally agree with Cody -- get a big name, quality piston. There are a ton to choose from these days. Back when I got mine, there were far fewer choices for the gen IIIs.
BTW I just checked my pistons... $870. Maybe my memory is shot

Yeah with MLS (or other) .052 compressed HG -- 9.14:1. A .054 hits 9.11:1
