Intermediate Shaft Wear

I've got a Howard's roller cam (711915-12) installed in a fresh rebuilt 360. Just recieved a reply back from summit that it is a billet camshaft. It hasn't yet been broken in. Now I'm trying to figure out the best street gear for it. I'm no metallurgist, I currently have a factory used intermediate shaft in it. I've just recently learned about this situation. So we've got steel - bronze - melonized??? - composite - and brass!? I just want to do what's correct for longevity. So what is the correct material for a billet cam? Any part numbers, I do not want to destroy this motor.

I bought the melonized gear from Hughes for a big block. Mines a street driven car.
