Need help with Cam selection, quick!

I am buying a 350 rebuild kit tonight from northernautoparts.com and I need to know which crane cam to go with. I want something that will give me a lot of torque for pulling heavy loads and for good acceleration. I need to make a decision within 2 hours so any repleys would be much appreciated!!! Thanks!!!

I would put an Enegizer 266 in it....good low end cam, and should pull to 4500 rpm pretty good.
