In the old tvro days feed horns were matched to the reflector for perfect illumination, so it made a difference. Nowadays, the mostly cheapy scalar rings aren't matched to any particular dish, so it won't matter. If your original scalar ring came from the same dish manufacturer, then I would use that one for best results.
