I sort of want to keep my options open for a blower in the future but will probably be running N/A for a long while before. so the question is Dished, Flat top, Domed, or any others?
I am pretty sure dished is not what I want because it will lower my compression which is good for the possible boost but bad for the N/A

Domed are the ones that raise compression and are good for N/A right?
And flat top is more like stock?

Any other kinds of pistons?

Would I just be better to choose a N/A designed piston and if/when I decide to add boost I can swap the pistons for boost friendly ones?

Talk to Paul (Killercanary) about his dished pistons, and see what kind of power he makes with them, while still running NA. How does 355 RWHP and 365 RWTQ sound for an untuned 8.8:1 compression 331 sound?
