Default Face plates or face plates rings?

Having upgraded my lathe I have to buy new fittings to fit the different
thread size. I was intending to buy a couple of face plates but have seen
face plate rings advertised. I have a Supernova chuck and the rings look a
more versatile proposition but are they as strong? I often put some pretty
uneven and unbalanced lumps of wood on the lathe and wonder if the rings may
distort.
Any experiences/opinions would be welcomed. TIA.
