Help with P+C choice

Well my engine stripdown has revealed problem after problem....and my hip pocket is bleeding out.

Amongst too many other things, how to deal with piston and cylinder rebuild/replacement.

I have a Euro 3.2 that has had both low octane fuel and bad oil so the pistons and the Nikasil walls are both shot.

Options are:

Bore out to 3.4, replate and JE pistons. $2000
Supertec QSC 3.4 and JE pistons. $2400
Mahle Euro 3.2 set $3000 (but may be able to get set for $2200-2500)
Perfect Bore 3.4 and JE pistons $3000


Realistically keeping my own Mahle's is the most affordable and favoured option but how good is a "rebulid" vs the other 3 new options?

Help!
Simon
