just depends on how wild you want it. Just browse through thunder racing and Texas speeds cam selections, they have descriptions on what works best with the cams

Ok. I will start you off with some good advice. Ditch the diablo.
If you are running nitrous, how much are you spraying? Sometimes that can have an effect on what type of cam you should look for. I am willing to bet that you are going to want a cam that is going to be used for daily driving 98% of the time. Most cams are nitrous friendly right out of the box, regardless of split. Your best bet is always going to be a custom grind over an off the shelf one.
Once you have figured out what you want to do with the car. I think that you should go and get a dyno tune and have your A/F adjusted properly.
You also have to take into consideration what a cam relies on such as supporting mods. Are you an A4 or M6? That will ultimately determine what you are going to need as far as stall and or gears.
The other thing that you might want to consider is replacement of your Valvetrain and oil pump. Are you going for max performance or for streetable manners? Cam's are like your car's personallity. You want to pick one that is going to work for it.
