Default Best Heads for a cheatr cam?

anyone know a good set of decent price heads other than AFR 205 (good but very expensive) for an ls1 with a cheatr cam?

Had thought about TSP CNC LS6 heads for 899 which seem like a good deal but wanted to get some feedback first...

TSP's will run you more than $899, because you'll need shimmed 918's or dual springs for that cam's lifts.
So in the same $$$ bracket:
Dart 205
Stage 2 LS2/LS6
Stage 2 5.3L

I had very good luck with PRC 5.3l 2.5 heads on my CheaTR setup on my daily driver. 430rwhp/410rwtq untuned with all the bolt ons.
