Default Good DD heads cam setup advice needed

Ok so I have been doing alot of reading about cam's and and trying to fully understand how to match the heads to the cam to get a good setup. I want to do heads and cam on my daily driven 98 SS which see's alot of stop and go driving and plenty of long trips also and must run without a problem on 93 octane. From the reading I have done I think I have settled on a comp grind 228/232 .588/.595 112+2 along with 62cc heads either AFR 205's or TFS 215's with .045 head gaskets. With only six degrees of overlap this should be very street friendly and with the heads give me a DCR of 8.62:1 and SCR of 11.18:1. Does this sound like a good setup for a DD car and what range is ideal of DCR on these cars?

I have close to the same cam, and the AFR 205 heads and yes that is a good set-up for a DD.
