New Stock, Unless you are going some crazy motor build then you can get Forged pistons from venders like ZZP or Intense.

Depends on if it has to get bored over or not. If bored over then I'd get OEM replacements from ZZP. If it's not bored over, then 
low mileage used.

Ok so if Im putting in a VS cam and intake and possible headers should I go with the forged ones or just stock?

Stock, unless you're changing compression. Because once you change the pistons to something other than OEM/stock replacements (different weight) you have to get the rotating assembly re-balanced (machine shop work).
