Andrews 26G or Head-Quarters HQ-0034G would a good choice.

I have the S&S 510 G's and picked up some power and my mileage didn't suffer. That said the 2 Camsthat PhilM mentions are great choices, two best IMO. I like the HQ-0034G and if I was doing the cam upgrade today, that's whatI would go with.

Just put the 26g cams in my bike and love them. Great low end grunt and some great scoot on the highway. Bike really runs strong.

I can't speak for the others but S&S has a kit with the cams, gears, bearings, and gaskets in 1 kit $665.00 Then you just need to buy the push rods and lifters.

Another good choice that would be a bolt in (no head work or cu in increase) would be the Woods TW6G. Good low end tq and fuel mileage does not suffer. They are gear drive and are reliable.
