You should be fine with either pulley. Just depends on how much power you want to make. I'd recommend going with the smaller one from the get go. A stock LS3 should be able to handle 8.5 PSI from an eForce no problem.
You don't absolutely have to upgrade the cam, but it would be recommended as you will make more power. LS9 would be a good budget option but if you are doing the work of swapping the cam, I'd recommend a shelf positive displacement cam from someone like Brian Tooley.

we've put 17psi in stock L98 and LS3 before no issues. provided you can control your IAT you'll be fine
have gone well within the range of 1000engine hp with a stock LS3 at 10.6:1 comp on E85

While the E-Force supercharger does package well.... It wouldn't be my choice for forced induction.... Stock LS2/LS3 connecting rods typically people say can handle around 900rwhp safely with a good tune for a long time.
