one that meets your requirements for power, compression, heads, intake, cubes, etc, etc
there is no one good cam. cam selection needs to be based on the rest of the motor from cubes, to heads, to type of intake manifold, to the turbo your using, and your power goals.
in general turbo cams are smaller in duration and have wider lobe angles. some feature more duration on the intake lobe

You should buy a catalog that will help you decide, it will let you know what to use per cubic inch and boost application, it will easily help you narrow the fields for easier selection, I hope you are not looking for a lopey cam sound, turbo cams do not often produce that effect, that is why they make good sleepers.

You should spend a lot of time reading and learning if you thought that was a reasonable question to ask…
There’s tons of info here on this board, in the related engine forums also.
