Richard,
We use Hastings almost exclusively and have had no problems. They have both stock, oem quality rings and a Performance series that is as good as you will find in my opinion. I would not worry about using them at all.

Last time I did some research, Hastings was the largest ring manufacturer in the US by a large margin.

They make plenty of good stuff and a lot of other stuff is just Hastings with a different package.

They're fine. You'll be getting plasma-moly on a ductile ring. As good as it gets. You'll like the pistons, too. The only difference I could see between the high dollar JEs and the Wiscos was the tops of the JEs were polished and the JEs use double spiro-locks.
