I haven't run hypereutectic pistons, I'm afraid to. I've heard they work
very well, but alot of people don't hammer on their engine as hard as I
do, and run in excess of 15 psi.

>From a materials standpoint, there is just no way that hypereutectic
pistons can approach the strength of forged racing pistons.

Modern alloys allow tighter pistons clearances than the "rattlers" of
the old days. I would recommend you talk to the folks at JE. If you're
going to run boost, forged racing pistons provide a nice margin of
safety.
