What "nitrous" piston?

I will hopefully be building my engine soon so I'm gathering info, parts, ect as we speak. The plans is a 355, that has good manners on the street and which I can spray a good amount on. I would like to shoot between 200-300 if possible but mostly right at 200hp. The car has 150k on it now so I'd rather not push it past the 100 I'm currently playing with. Money being a very small issue in which to go with and reliability, strength being the largest, which piston would you recommend?

Forged, with a thick, strong crown. Beefy (thick) ring land for the top ring. An upgaded wrist pin doesn't hurt either.

JE and Ross make some nice nitrous pistons.
