less back lash . . . less slop in the valve train
made for higher RPMs

I just use the LS7 Like every buddy else. There about the same price every were, just shop around.

If I do a Large cam in my own 6.0 Project later on, I will probally Go Morell's for that.

I am guessing you are going to use stock rockers? I would suggest looking at the GMHTP magazine from May 2009 they explained what happens when you run a cam with .550 lift or better and the stock rocker arms. I know alot of people say it doesn't matter but if you look at it, it makes since. After I read that I went ahead and got some roller rockers. After all the money we dump in these things.....why not
