if i was to rebuilt my engine and replace the rings, would i just purchase the stock size piston and rings again or would i have to go bigger, if the piston sleeve is in good condition

If it is still within the proper specs then you can just get it honed and use stock sized parts. If it's not then you will need to go oversized.
