The best pistons for MX5's are the Flyin Miata Wisecos - every time. They are differently designed than the catalogue wisecos and have been proven time and time again.

Good tuning is the key. Sean was running 15PSI on the standard engine with a good tune and it lasted a while. He then rebuilt with standard gear, except for rings, and ran 18PSI for a while.
It ended up eventually blowing up each time, but that's a lot more boost than you'd expect from the stock gear.
All in the tune.
