Default Choosing the right camshaft

Hello, I am OH my motor and Im looking for a really good and the right camshaft. Can someone point me in the right direction. I am buying my parts through Summit Racing, they have a few variety but I dont know witch one to pick. Also Summit states that stock springs cant be used but they dont know what springs to use. Imconfused. I have a 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 318 5.2L.

Yes, forged pistons are more durable because the metal is work hardened versus molten and poured. The same goes for forged rods.
