Default help choosing a cam?

Shopping around for a new cam for my Trans Am and here are some that have been suggested. I am swapping in an LS6 with 243 heads fwiw. Hoping to make around 400/400 at the wheels NA and will be spraying a 125 shot.

235/238 .621"/.612" 112+3
235/242 .621"/.615" 111+3
231/234 .617"/.602" 111+2

Another shop would not send me specific numbers, but was just saying something in the range of a high 23x duration and .62x" lift on around a 112 lsa.

To me, it sounds like all of these folks are on the same page and kinda telling me the same thing. That being said, how do I choose one that I will be happy with?

My current cam is a 225/229 .580"/.590" 114 and I was less than impressed with it overall because it just didn't seem to make any power for the mods. I don't need the car to be a daily driver, but would like to be able to cruise around and have some decent power on tap when I decide to punch it. The whole build is leaning towards a pro-touring style build rather than a full on dragster, but I know the power I want to make and that with some planning I can get there.

Thoughts?
