Default 4.8 5spd cam suggestions?

What would be a good cam for a std cab 4.8 5spd truck? Hes wanting the truck to chop some and sound good but he also wants something that performs pretty good... the truck is gunna have 4.10s l/ts and cam. I was thinking maybe a 212/218 112lsa or a maybe a tr220 112lsa?

any help appreciated

Thanx,
Garrett

I had a 212/218 114lsa in my 4.8 5 speed truck and I really liked it a lot. Perfect for daily driving and towing. If I had to do it all over again, Id do either that same cam, or a 216/220 or 220/220 on a 112 or 110 lsa and call it a day.
