I never use regular cast pistons. I usually use hypereutectic, which are a higher silicone content cast piston. Much tougher then regular cast, and are tighter fitting when cold then forged pistons. Forged pistons are the toughest, but can be expensive.

I have seen alot of cracked badger pistons in V8 Jeep Engines. I wouldn't personally use them I would go with a good set hupereutectic pistons. The last engine I tore down that had Badger pistons in it you could still see the cross hatching on the cylinder walls but 3 of 8 pistons were cracked.
