I kinda want to have a really nice idle and dont want to have any drivability issues. I'll need a cam that can work with me on this and still produce good power. Any suggestions?

I've gotten some quotes and it will be hard to justify getting a 346 when for a grand more I can get a stroker bottom end. I think I am gonna do stroker.
what do you guys think about this?
If I let the shop install and tune my motor I can get a 1 yr warranty on the stroker if I do it myself it will only be 90days.
If it is installed by a shop I will also have to ship my car on top of the labor charged for the install.
Is it better to save the 1.5k on car shipping/install or is it better to get it tuned with a 1 yr warranty from the installer and pay the extra cash?
