car stalls out

Okay I finally got around to a compression check and it seems as if #3,4, and 6 are shot they only came up to about 60 psi and #'s 1,2, and 5 were hitting 145 psi no problem. Not being an expert or anything but i guess i need to replace the rings. But my next question is meaning that 3 of the pistons are shot should I just replace those three or should i play it safe and spend the extra money on all six of them? Because i have never had to replace rings in any vehichle before are there anythings that i should consider when purchasing rings. Any info would be great thanks!
