CAMS!!! Best for 14B/E3 B16G?

Well with my WTB thread posted and all the controversy, it look like this is necessary. Here is the basics on what I have and what I want.
Car: 1992 Galant VR4
Rebuilt stock motor, pulled 160-160-160-157 for compression #’s with my old head
DSM SMIC
More fuel than I will EVER need
I use an EEPROM burner to tune, no AFC
Currently has a 14B, ported EX side with a 34MM flapper
2.5 O2 elim, 3" the rest of the way
4 Bolt, Excedy 1900 clutch
Wet 75 shot, NX
PLX wideband
Standard gauges (boost, EGT, OIL pres, oil temp)

Will be getting:
Ported 2G head, with a modded 1G intake mani
Cams
EVO 3 16G when the 14B falls apart.

Goals:
While it is fast, and I want it to be a bit faster, but IT IS NOT MY RACE CAR. I drive it every day in the summer. I am staying with a small turbo because I don't want to deal with getting a bigger IC (even though I should when I go to the 16G) and it is also nice to have power from down low for merging, with out going down to 2nd gear. (around 3K)

I have driven a car with 272’s and a laggy turbo. John’s car, back with the 60 trim. Did I mind it, no. Just not what I am going for. I don’t think I need them.

Idle quality isn't a huge issue, 272's are fine, but will they put the power were I want it?

My reasoning:
Since I am going to have a small turbo, I might as well have cams that don’t move the power band to somewhere the turbo isn’t going to make power. With a 16G you get all of 1HP more, with significant losses in the low end (see above) if you go for 272’s or the like. A bit more many be possible with the EVO 16G, but who knows. Idle quality isn't a huge issue, 272's are fine, but will they put the power were I want it?

So what should I get AND WHY?
