Default Which Piston style to use with E85

Doing an engine build here... going to be running E85 with a lot of boost due to the 105 octane rating of E85... Leaning towards the supercharger route... thinking of going with Kenne bell. Just curious what style pistons people are using out there... Dished... Flat top... etc...

been reading a lot of articles and a book which have pointed out that for supercharged applications using a blower like the one I have in mind the common route is to go with dished... however this was for applications using pump gas ... e85 is less prone to detonation ... Just curious what everyone has to say... or personal experiences?

Thanks everyone in advance :-)
