Default LT-1 freshen-up

Planning on a ring freshen up on my LT-1 shortblock this winter. I do not intend to replace pistons, so I am looking for advice on rings/honing process. The motor has Lunati L350 pistons with 1/16, 1/16, 3/16 ring grooves.
I would like to consider a range of options and pros/cons for each.
I reviewed a lot of the old threads on here, just looking for latest thinking.
Total Seal recommended AP gapless top, Napier second, low tension oil.
Saw good/bad input on gapless.
Interested to hear input. This is not a high dollar deal. I am willing to spend a few bucks, but I don't want to break the bank. I also realize you get what you pay for.
Thanks for advise/input.
I have access to a couple great shops to perform the honing properly.
Thanks,
John
