st: Confidence interval of a simulated experiment

Hi,
I have a dataset in which different observations belong to different groups. I calculated a certain statistic. Next I wrote a small program that shuffles the observations between the different groups randomly and calculates and returns the same statistic. I call this program 1000 times using the simulate command. In order to see if the observed statistic (in the original data) is due to randomness i check the confidence intervals of the statistic which is returned by the simulation experiment. Should I refer to the percentiles which are displayed by the sum, det command or should I use the ci command?
Thanks
Najib
