Higher CR is better for off boost torque, but you won't be able to run as much boost(your engine will be more susceptable to knock on lower octane fuel). And for a forged engine, that doesn't really make sense.
I run standard CR of 8.5:1 and I run 2bar boost, so your pistons will be fine.

Recent back to back tests prove to be inconclusive at this level. The usual rules don't apply to the 5 cylinder when you drive the car.
Any differences are marginal so most keep them stock.

When I went to forged 8:1 CR i definitely noticed some difference in off-boost driveability, so if i had to choose again i would go for standard 8.5:1 as i don't run ultra high boost levels. The choice depends on your driving style, how much time you spend off-boost and the boost level you plan to run.
