I notice that many ppl using Jun or Toda cams. Why not much ppl using Brian Crower?? I found out that Brian Crower is the cheapest around those 2 brands. Any shifu can give advise becos going to upgrade to high cam.

Most Japanese spec cams give normal idle when used. Even the higher levels like Toda C2 and Jun 3 can give idle like a stock car.
USDM cams like Skunk2, if level 1-2 give standard idle, if level 3 or more usually will not give smooth idle or good low end power for daily driving. Even skunk2 admits this on their website. Brian Crower also puts that information on their website.
Depends on what you want, you may want a race oriented cam, or a performance oriented cam. Most japanese cams are meant for street, so they're usually a bit milder than USDM cams.
There's no one good cam. Depends on setup and what you expect out of it. If stock standard, keep it as it is. The standard cams work quite well until you start increasing compression past 10.5-11.
I've never driven a car with a USDM cam, so I can't say performance wise if they're indeed better than Japanese cams. Seems like some SuperSixteen racers are using them succesfully, so that's at least one testament to their performance..

Don't forget the valve train components. It'll say its compatible with factory valvetrain but I would 100% recommend changing to aftermarket valve springs and retainers coz we VTEC people tend to love going over the redline...
EDITED:
Skunk2 Pro Series Stage 1 < Toda C's in terms of top end
Skunk2 Pro Series Stage 1 > Toda C's slightly in terms of midrange
There was a dyno comparison back to back on these cams on a 1.9 liter motor in honda-tech. But they love the Toda C's performance compared to skunk2.
Question is: Which one is cheaper?
