The benefits of which mod? ... EAGLE rods and WISECO pistons -or- B16 rods and SUPRA pistons?
If going with WISECO pistons, then you can choose the type of piston you want; either flat, dish, or dome to get a compression you like.
When going with the SUPRA pistons, your compression ratio (CR) will be low. I *heard* it lowers it to 8.8:1 CR which is on par with most factory turbo cars. However, with a 1.6l, the spool up will suck and you'd have to up the psi to compensate. Again, it's up to you.
