looking for 390 cam that works!

Hey guys, I could really use some help. I have had a migraine for days trying to find a great cam for my "390 freshen up project". The cam i had on motor for about 700 miles was a dual pattern hyd cam with these specs; dur @ 50 214/224 sae dur 292/302 cam lift 295/310 valve lift 510/536 with lobe centers 107/117 all intake/exhaust info. I think cam lobes went down so dont want to take a chance. Some cam company personnel say dual pattern are better, some say single pattern. They said not to go below 112 on lobe seperation and to not go over 220 on duration @ 50. I checked out some of your info on this ford link, and see that a few have chosen comp cams 280h cam. Is this a good choice ? I was recommended comp cams 270h. Others have suggested Crane cams dual pattern profiles. I've used Isky cams, speed pro and now this dual pattern. I have been happy with none of them. It seems like the more $ i spend, the slower and less fun my car is. I have a 390 bored 40 over, 2400-2800 stall, edelbrock performer intake, hooker super comp headers, ford 9" rear, don't have gears yet but soon. I have a C6 automatic with a shift kit. Heads are C7AE-A which will get mild port/polish. I want a nice rough, but not exaggerated idle with a broad rpm range not to exceed 6000. I want a snappy response off the line to end of powerband. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!
