Elevator tab bend rivets...

So I took a DEEP breath and bent the elevator tabs. Came out great! Fit and edge equidistance to the tab is wonderful. About ready for final assembly, looking through the instructions. The Rivets on the Trim Tab Bends are CS4-4, countersunk (dimpled in this case). The instructions call for a normal pop rivet on the elevators. YUK!

I don't want countersunk (dimpled in this case) rivets on the tabs and normal on the elevator bent tabs. I'd like to have them all dimpled/countersunk. What (Pop) rivet should I use on the elevator?

I've seen some recommendations to use the CS4-4, others that say MS319-BA and others that say CR3214-4-2.

What say you?

Thanks!
 
I decided to go with MK-319-BS rivets instead of those CS4-4 due they are a bit smaller... Bendings are dimpled.
