Choosing a Camshaft

I have a 5.8L 351w EFI that came out of a 1991 F350 Custom w/ a C6. I am planning to rebuild and swap in place of my 5.0, I am looking for a good camshaft to use on it. I would like to use stock rocker arms and maybe a little stronger springs. Not looking for anything high performance, just better torque for towing/ off-roading and maybe some horsepower if avalible

You are keeping EFI? The 5.8 is a good upgrade in torque output over the 5.0 as it is but there is always room for improvement.
If so the Crane 444232 or the Comp Cams 35-255-5 are good options.
