Piston ? on sohc

What would be a better piston to use on a sohc KA24E motor?
Flat top or domed. I see many racing nissans using flat top with theirs , they use a modified head but still which would be better to use.

Arias makes pretty good pistons, dont know if they have them for the KA, though. You might be able to get Tomei's but they'll cost you.

Tomei only makes them for engines from japan, KA wasn't really used in performance vehicles in japan. Nissan motorsports flat top pistons seem a little low on compression with 9.5:1 compression . Any opinions on race engineering 10.5:1 not sure if they are flat top though.
