ordering calipers

Hey all
I have to order calipers of EBAY probably R1 and was wondering if I should get the stock master as a package with the piss bottle as someone here put it. Or just get a cheap copy of a regular master of correct size or a used original sans piss pot from another model?
Thanks
Chiz

I am using Blue dots with the stock (5/8" or 15.9MM) master. I also have HH pads and braided lines. Braking is not an issue, I can stop with ease with only two fingers. If you only have one finger (or only want to use only one finger) then consider a master with 14MM piston.
