Default need help choosing which ls to buy

Looking to swap a ls into a second gen camaro. I have no clue which engine to start with,3rd gen 6.0l or 4th gen 6.2l.This is going to be a driver with either a 4l60e or 4l80e,camed and on nitrous.I have read several threads on this site on the different ls engines and i am confused lol.There are so many different choices i don't know what to start looking for, Any and all help would be appreciated.

you probably get into a ls2 cheaper then a ls3 .look at SDPC for prices on crate motors if you are buying new.you can find use 6.0 ls2 motors for $2000 .check Texas Speed for ls motor short and long blocks .consider a ls2 stroker motor ,402+ ci .you can get a stand alone ls engine system from edelbrock for $600.

Id have to agree with ultimateoranges. I would at least get a LS2 minimum.

And as mentioned below, check those places for prices, you can always find a good deal.
