Default CVH Camshaft quality

Does anyone know about the quality of different make camshafts. I'm after one that has a broad powerband, so fairly close to standard spec. Though the difference between std. (220 degrees) and the mildest aftermarket cams (260degrees) is quite big.
Newman seems to be of good quality, but they don't do a turbo cam for hydraulic followers, and I'm not thrilled of taking the expensive solid lifters route.

Kent and Piper are just too expensive for what they are.

AE, Federal Mogul, etc cams (160e per set) don't seem to last a summer with bad luck.

Ford quoted me 170e for a efi cam (cam only). Anyone know who makes the cams for Ford and what quality they are? Are they more likely to last years compared to AE cams?

Any other cams one can recommend? Currently I have a CVH35 which isn't really to my liking.
