With so low boost I'll definately vote for the std. cam. You'll achieve more dynamic compression with it suiting your boost level. You'll lose ~5hp only high up at the peak, but you'll gain around 700 rpm in power band. Also only costs a fraction.

I'm in agreement with JesseT at this level of tune I would keep a standard cam in there. It is actually a pretty good cam.
