I did a lot of research about engines before about 12 months ago before I purchased my Rod Penrose 2054.
I can highly recommend these cylinders heads, I have them on my engine and they are great. I ported the manifolds to match the ports on the heads to help the fold. They are a great head for the price.

With that case you have posted You must be aware that you will have to modify the tinware and fanhousing to fit. Because that case is clearanced for a stroker crank the top is raised up and more curved. You need to grind the fanhousing to fit the shape of the case.
Also be aware that if you go to a stroker engine just about all of you tinware it going to need mods to fit properly on the engine. If you read back in my build diary to where I was fitting the engine. i probably spent somewhere around 15 hours getting the tinware to fit well, and I could have spent 3 times that! And mine is the smallest stroker available.
I would recommend that you go with a standard stroke of 69 and a 94 bore to give you the 1915. At least then you can use all of the standard tin without needing many mods.
As far as Cam choice is concerned that's up to personal preferance in my opinion. Depends what you want to use that car for and what you want from the engine. You said you're going to be using the vehicle to drive to work and back, so you're not going to be wanting something too wild otherwise it's going to be a pig and you won't enjoy driving it.
Here are a few things that you definitely should do.
Full flow oiling with an external spin on oil filter is a must in my opinion. If you want your engine to last you want the oil clean and cool. make sure you get a filter.
You must have all the tinware fitted, especially on a bigger/hotter engine. You cooler must be sealed well in the fanhousing and the engine bay to tinware seals must all be fitted to keep the engine properly cooled.
I'm not sure what you're running currently but you will probably need to fit, as a minimum, a four vent decklid off the later supers. The vents are there to supply enough air to both the cooling fan and cabies, if you don't have vents the engine is going to be struggling to suck enough air through the louvers under the back window. You might even have to run some form of hood jacks or standoffs.
That's about all that I can think of at the moment. It's raining here which is distracting me, I think I'll go find some mud to play in
🤘 There are more people on here that have a lot more experience building these things so I'm sure that they'll chime in.
