If it is a good shop you can trust, they may be able to polish and balance a set of piston rods at a reasonable price. That might allow to integrate a used one and strength and balance of the engine would be even better than OEM. For the damaged piston they also should be able to measure the wear of pistons and bore and than you can decide to change one or all. But after 120k and engine opened ...

I remember changing a single broken piston ring on the engine of my first car. I was young, still at school and had little money Only a few weeks later the next was broken ;-)
