depends on what you want.......
I had the TR224/224 and loved it.....I never would have baught it but my first cam (a 230/236) wouldn't fit with my milled/large valve heads so I had to go with something smaller (I looked at the TR230/224 but it wouldn't fit).......in the end I am really happy I did the TR224......it gave really good power (400rwhp/385rwtq with HP peak @ 6200 and TQ peak @ 5200), had enough lope to sound like a cam, but still idles really nice even on a STOCK tune......I sold it to a friend and he loves it in his cam and bolt-on only car.......
I installed a TR230/224 in a friend's car and he loved it........it idles rough, makes good power, is more touchy on the tune than the TR224 but not bad......
there is no "best"........"best" depends on what YOU want the car to do (honestly........you can't say "I want a cam to make 500000000000 HP N/A and still idle like stock")...........
nobody ever says the TR224 is too big....if anything it is always too small........BUT....I have heard more people say the TR230/224 is too big than people have said the TR224 is too small..........
I voted for the TR224 because it is really an all around good cam......it is the upper limit of emissions (tailpipe) passable, it has enough lope to say "yeah...there is a cam", anybody can drive it, and it won't kill parts, all while making very respectable power..........now I personally went solid roller on my new engine (244/249)....it won't idle below 1000 (it "will" but you will be on the gas at every stop light) but I still think it is too small so I am by no means a "small cam person".........
