Default Camshaft Recommendation

I have a '93 block and head that I just got back from the machine shop. The XJ it is going in will be my DD/weekend adventure/roadtripping vehicle, I'm shooting for mid range power gains. The machinist needed to remove .020 off the cylinder walls and I'm putting new Sealed Power hypereutectic dish pistons, new rings, bearings, etc in the block. I am at the point now where I need to decide on my camshaft. I do intend to install Harland Sharp roller rockers in. I'm hoping to get some input on what is best for the money for campshaft, lifters, springs, and pushrods. I talked to comp cams and they recommended a 68-501-5 cam, 822-12 lifters, and 983J-kit springs. I've read in other forum posts to go with a late 90's model stock cam.

Just send out feelers for some feedback.

Update: I talked to Summit Racing and their recommendation was a Lunati LUN-10680703 cam and SUM-HT2011 lifters, guessing they based it off what they have available to ship now since all the comp cams ones show a delay on the website.

All cams are going to take forever right now. For god sake mine took like 1 or 2 months to be mailed out. once I get home I'll send you over a photo of the bump stick cut I have. Mine is for low-end torque though and daily driveability.

The Lunati one could be shipped out today if I ordered, but I don't believe I've ever seen it recommended on a build. Fortunately, this is just a side project so time isn't really a factor, though I would like to have it by summer.
