I'll take a slightly lower compression. I like around a 10:1, but thats just me personally. I would still bost the 11:1, but if I had the chance to throw some slightly lower compression pistons in there I would do it.

I boosted 10.5 safely until my ringlands went from to much crank case pressure.

Whys not 8.5, i would think that it would easier to tune, and i would think i wont have to run race gas with the higher boost.
