Default 1200 conversion Compression Question

I have a 2004 883c and planning on having the 1200 conversion done next week.

I have researched the kits and found 9.5 and 10.1 kits

I was told that if I go with the 10.1 I may ping my bike and blow the tops...

Can anyone tell me which way is the best to go..

I am going to purchase the Wiseco kits tomorrow, but I want to ensure that I get the best bang for the buck without causing any issues to my bike..

Thanks..
