Cams......decisions decisions

I'm trying to decide on a cam/stall so I can get everything ordered and start getting the truck put back together. I've talked to Texas Speed & Performance and Tick Performance, and both recommended different cams based on the same info I gave them on the truck/motor/use. I tend to go OCD on stuff like this and have a hard time deciding. Not to mention, I know absolutely nothing about choosing cams. I want to do it right the first time and not have to do it over again. Let me get some of your opinions. The truck is an '86 step side, roughly 4000lbs, maybe a little less, 4l80 and 3.73 gears with 29.8-30.5" tires. The motor is an LQ9 with 799 heads, CIA, 1.75" long tubes, dual 3" exhaust with probably 2 chamber flowmasters. Stock truck intake, fuel rails, & injectors. I'm not going for an all out super high RPM race truck, just a fast, fun street toy that sounds bad a$$.
TS&P recommended their 228R cam 228/228 .588/.588 112
Tick recommended a 231/235 .630/.600 111+2 cam
What is your opinion on these two cams and any suggestions on other cams?
