Default 6.0L cam?

Got a problem cant decide on what cam to go with in a 6.0L. Iv been running a 4.8 with a comp 212/218 522/529 114lsa for 5yrs and 100,000 miles now and the motor finaly decided to let go of a main bearring. Im kind of out of the loop on all the new stuff for the ls motors. So now im going to go head and put a 6.0l in the truck and go threw the trans at the same time. Iv been looking at the all the cams and cant decide. The truck is daily driven, but dont realy care that much, just needs to be kind of streetable. The truck has long tube and off road y pipe, slp cold air intake and i have hp tuners. For the trans im going to go with a 3200 yank, beast sheel, harden input and output shafts and the 5 plant rollers. Im a gm tech so all the install stuff is not a problem. My big question is what would a good cam choice be. Any ideas??

IIRC a lot of the 6L guys are running the TR220 with good results.

I'm putting a TR220 in my SS this weekend, hopefully i'll get some good results out of it by the middle of next week after a tune, and i'll give you the spill on it ;]

Id run something similar to a torquer V2. Im more worried about having too small a cam, than too big in a 6.0
