Which camshaft to get?

I am seriously considering getting a performance camshaft. I am just not sure which one would provide more power and/or better quality. They both seem to be about the same price and have very close to the same grinds. I need help deciding.

This one:

I don't know which one would be better, but I know JWT makes pretty good parts so that would be my choice...Either one should be sweet, if you decide to get cams be sure to let me know how they are!

tomei... i think they're more aggressive according the the 350Z guys IIRC and still have a decent idle.

Do a search on www.my350z.com

The guy on that site who ran the Tomei 268's had to also change out his lifters with varying other Nissan lifters to make the cams work. The JWT and Nismo cams can be run without any other modifications.
Keep in mind this is just based on what I've read on other forums. I don't have any direct knowledge of this myself
