It is my humble opinion that unless you plan on turning it stupid tight (above 6K+/-) I would stay with press fit pins.

It really depends on the build and use. With the torque a jet requires the full floating rods are a luxury that is both unnecessary and potentially a negative. The negative part is because of the higher cylinder and oil temperatures.
