Default TR224 vs fms F2vs TSP228R

Well, I did quite some research on the cam choice for the street and I narrowed my choice down to TR224 112 or 114 LSA or TSP 228R on 114 LSA.
I'm looking for the best balance of power/driveability/longevity. I will be using Comp 918 valve springs and titanium retainers on ported 241 heads.
I found a custom grind cam for sale; Futral 224 on 114 LSA with .588 lift. How will this cam compare to others? Is it worth considering? I didn't see too many posts on FMS F2 cam that is similar to this custom grind and TR224, meanwhile there is a lot of info on TR224.
What would be the best choice for street with good driveability and reliability with 918 springs.
Opinions please.

all of the ones you mentioned should be great dd cams with a mild idle.the 224 to 228 cams are proven performers and can still lay down decent peak numbers.

Why FMS F2 cams are not as popular as TR224s?

I have been considering both cams for a while now...I haven't come to a final decision, but I keep leaning towards the tsp228r......although I would hate to not go big enough, 232/232 keeps coming to mind.
So I guess my opinion to you would be to go with the tsp228r b/c its a little bigger and I'm sure the drivability is about the same.

go with the 232/591-114 cam...I have the 228 and it's ok but I wish I had gone slightly bigger.

Thanks, I needed to hear that. I don't want to have the same feeling if I get the 228...I'm sure I'll end up going the bigger route.
