Are Wiseco pistons a good performance stepup from stock

I might need new rings so i will upgrade the pistons at the same time.Are WISECO pistons strong and can they handle uprated cooper s engines well.Also what sort of price are they.including rings etc.Are these as good as most performance pistons out there.I cant afford to totaly build a race engine but as i might need rings i want to upgrade the pistons to something that will handle my uprated engine with ease.

I have heard lately that CP Pistons are the way to go. All the guys making the big power are sporting CP's.

Right now I'm having JE Pistons put in my Mini. They are even 20 oversized because of my OEM piston blowing up. One of the best part of JE was it only took 14 days to get and everyone else was taking up to 8 weeks. I know all the Fireballed cars a using JE and they are make big HP 400, 500 and 600hp.
I only want 300hp so this was a good choice for me.

wiseco owns JE and the wisco's are a step up from JE Pistons. CP pistons are also one the the best out there for performance apps.
FWIW..
