Some Progress & Lathe Centers

Put together a work bench last night, assembled my drill press, then I was going to mount the lathe to the bench but then got distracted by the centers. It is a jet mini lathe, it has a cupped live center but the drive doesn't have a center pin (appears to be missing) which is possible as it wasn't mine.

So my question is.... what are you guys using? a 4 prong with the center point, are you using a cupped live center on the dumb end and if yes what is the distance between the point and the cup? Maybe there is something cool out there that I don't know about...
