Strong Grip

So I have this race with forearm/hand tentacles and was considering a Retain Weapon advantage as part of it.
Should I base the cost off ST, Lifting ST, or Striking ST?
I lean towards Lifting ST.
Also a Talent..
Tentacle Hands/Fore Arms [5]
You have short tentacles for hands that are long enough to be considered forearms. These make it easier for you to get a firm and solid grip on things.
They add to things liek Retain Weapon or contests of ST when resisting disarm attempts. They do not add to overall grappling as they are too short to wrap around a person but do add when grabbing limbs of similar sized foes.
