Default 2001 LS 5.7 , street cam choice.

Need help for my son choosing a Cam?
60k on engine, headers,air intake,high flow cats,complete exhaust.
3.42 gear I think. Auto trans,stock converter.
I've heard 50hp from the Cam?
Need mid range power, not top end.
Would like .600 lift or less.
Don't want to change valve springs every 25k miles.
Local shop is advising too big of cam for him in my opinion,mid .600 lift, 230s dur @.050?
He thinks bigger is Better?
I know he will like mid in a daily driver street car better than Top!
Help?
