Its my daily driver so I dont want super loapy cams but a good amount and good power

it depends on how much money you want to spend. you can spend a bunch on "the best" and then again get pretty close to that power for less too if you don't want the last bit of power. the advise i give to everyone is to contact Ed Curtis at FlowTech Inductions. he custom grinds some of the best LSx cams out there and many speed shops use his cams with their names on them. he also takes some of the best heads and hand ports and massages them to make them even better. you tell him your goals and he gives you the options. IMHO it's better to listen to someone like him that has the actual hands on experience in the business instead of internet "knowledge" which can be good or not so much. one thing often bandied about often is dyno numbers. as Ed says he makes power to the ground not the rollers. one over looked fact is peak power is usually a very narrow RPM band and power "under the curve" is power throughout a wider RPM range. a cam that makes power under the curve can beat a peak horsepower cam by giving that pull thru the whole gear. my Street Sweeper HT cam that i got from him is a good example. even tho i don't have heads yet which he said will REALLY make it shine, my LS1 car puts out pretty good track numbers for a cam/headers car. it pulls like mad from 2,500 rpm to my 6,800 RPM redline.
