460 piston ring thickness and type (1972)

I am wanting to freshen up this 460 before installing. I just am unclear on what rings to use. I know it is 4.360 bore but I am not sure what thickness. I'm given a choice of,
Top ring: 1/16" or 5/64
Second ring: same as above
Also, what type should I use? There are several applications.
This motor is probably going to be around 400 hp when done. (Hoping!!) I will be installing D0VE-c heads, if that makes a difference.<!-- google_ad_section_end --><!-- / message -->

5/64 is the stock ring thickness. just normal iron rings will work fine.
