i have 2 options for a :
258mm circle d multidisk 3k stall
9.5 pheonix single disk 3600 stall

The 258mm will be better for a DD. We can raise the stall a little more than 3000 to compliment the cam. Be happy to discuss the options, just give me a shout....

I daily drive my CircleD 3600 with my 80e. Basically i have the same setup you do minus the heads/cam... I love it it can be tame/mild/wild depending on your foot, it is very easy to control once you get used to it....
