You could play it safe and use your 93 -> 89 -> 87 approach. Or go straight to 87 and see how the engine handles it and hope for no hesitation of some sorts. The ECU should adapt.
edit: The same case for my F4i. Previous owner used 93. Manual says 87. Switched to 87 and things have been just fine.
Switched to 87 and got a few bugs (see reply above) so I'll go with the 89 and see how that works. I bought this car because I got tired of the pump with my 99 Yukon so super is not an option.
