What is a good stock camshaft for my 1955 261c.i. with solid mechanical lifters?

Elgin E-293S. It's an exact clone of the 261 cam except for a slight difference in the lash specification. Melling makes a similar cam with slightly more exhaust duration. I believe the Melling part number is a CCS-1. Both cams are solid lifter type.
