Well, if you have a consistent machinist who regularly does your hone jobs, and you are sure the rings will hook up and seal, I'd run the low tension rings. If you don't run a vacuum pump, at least run the old tried and true Moroso crankcase evac system from the collectors to the valve covers.

If it's a new guy you don't know anything about, you might want to give a second thought about running std. tension rings.
