I was going to go 02+ LS6 cam but decided on a variant of Speed Inc's SC1 cam, which ended up being very similar to the third cam you mentioned.
222/228, .581/.588 114+2LSA
Basically its an SC1 ground with XE-R lobes for a bit more lift and advanced 2*.
Should have a graph in a few weeks. Ported 5.3 heads, 10:1 CR, and a 3.7" pulley on a D1SC w/ FMIC

I would go with 3. As recent people on here have tested and shown, if the cam makes power N/A it is going to produce under FI. Many people like to say large cams hurt FI cars, but there are many cars out there proving them wrong. Do a little searching and you will find out.
