I'd say go with the HKS 272s. If idle quality and reliabilty are concerns they're the better overall choice. I dont trust the stock springs with the Comp 272 grinds..

Comp cams have high lift, so you should really upgrade your valve springs and retainers with them. Just something to keep in mind.
There are plenty of HKS cam reviews so i am not going to comment on them. Havent heard much about buddy club cams. I think there was a turbo magizine review on them and they didnt do too well.
Personally i went with GSC 272's

I too have the comp 272's on stock springs and retainers with no issues. I was told there would be no problems by the engineer who designed them at Comp. So, that's good enough for me.
They idle fine by the way.

I got buddy club cams. Same maker of tomei cams wich are extremely expensive. The buddy clubs have the exact same specs as the hks and all the same manufacturing procedures. Except i got a killer deal on mine. $420 shipped.
