You'll want to put an OEM piston back in so that it matches the other one. If you get another brand you should replace them in pairs. It looks like that cylinder went lean, melting a hole in the piston and causing excessive thermal expansion, hence the scuffing of the piston walls. If you replace the rings you have to hone the cylinder, otherwise the rings won't seat properly and you'll be using lots of oil.
