doesnt really matter, they're all have about the same amount of lift, z3's are the biggest tho

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't it the z1 that has type R cams giving it the extra 10 hp that the a2 does not have?

The Z1 exhaust cam is the same as the ITR.

Are you planning on doing the full roller rocker assembly swap from an a2, z3 or z1 head I'm assuming? You can't run these cams in anything but a k24a2 head which has three lobe vtec on both intake and exhaust without doing so.
