Well the trend now is toward very short skirt short compression height pistons lighter then stock with long strokes and increased rod lenghts. I would want to keep piston weight down so as not to have to ad weight. The mallory added to the sides of the counterbalances have less effect thus requiring multiple slugs. A slug on the face will put the increase out further from centerline but I have seen them fly off and exit the block so it was customary to set them just below the face and run a weld bead around the lip to secure.
