Cam choice

I have a 92 f-150 5.8 with e40d tranny. I will be rebuilding the motor with 9:1 cr
(i hope) lol, edel heads and edel intake with a t-body. I need a cam that is emissions legal for california but that will be an improvement over stock. I believe that the 92's are flattappet so i was looking at i think its an -m50 cam or something from ford motorsport... What do you guys reccomend? I will be towing a boat and a small camper but its not a heavy hauler. I like to haul **** as well
