I used an XR292R last time and it would work good for you. great on the street. 254/260 @ .050" .619/.627 with a 1.6 rocker. shifts at 7000.
My new piece is from Bullet and is 259/263 .660" with a 1.6 rocker. Also drives nice, shifts at 7500.
So of the 2 you listed, I'd choose based on gear and weight.
If the car is light and has track only gearing, do the cam with more duration...
If it's heavy with street gearing, do the short duration piece. it should make a little more torque on the bottom end and get the car moving.
That might help you decide. Goodluck!!

I ran the XR280R cam in my 406 (280/286 .570/.576) with fully worked Pro-Topline heads and all the works and it mustered a 514hp/564 ft/lb. It had real good manners on the street also.
