Best Gen IV VVT Cams?

I have a 2011 L96 donor engine with VVT. I want to keep the VVT but want to install a mild cam update. I still want the low end torque and have read the right VVT cam can maintain torque with a high end HP increase. Street manners are important to me since my wife will also be driving the truck.
Which cam manufacturers are the most trustworthy for use with VVT? Anyone have any experience with it?

Thanks rusher. Did you buy a VVT limiter/cam phaser or anything else with it? Did you have to replace the stock springs or arms?

Yes bought the cam phaser and also there springs to match the cam and seals and push rods. I’ll try post a quick video clip of it when I first fired it up. Super happy with the performance.
