I don't know anything about cams, but most advertised cams seem to come in stages. Usually higher level stages sacrifice lower end power for MUCH HIGHER high end power, where lower end stages tend to give higher power across the entire power band without such epic increases up top. Problem is, you won't see those higher power gains on a stock GT motor, nor would you probably see them with a pro charger. Comp Cams Stage 2 seemed to be the best all around that I've read about right now, but don't take my word for it. By all means just look into it, as it's a starting point for you. Also:

The supercharger will still work fine with the Stage 2 cam, you shouldn't have any problems, and buying a cam for a supercharger in the future is kind of pointless. If you want to buy a cam right now, buy the one that will work with your NA motor, because it'll still add to the power when you get your pro charger, and perhaps the highest power increase may not be had with it, for me, I know having that power now and still having all of it and then some later seems like a better deal than buying one that asks me to sacrifice power for something I plan to do in the future... which while we hope will come to pass, may or may not.

Get the mid range stuff, something that gives power now. Unless you got steep gears. When I had my SN95, I would have gone something along the lines of stage 3 with 4.10's, since the power increase up top would really come alive, but the tricky thing is you still have to do a **** ton of mods to make the rest of the motor catch up to them. Most of the stuff in your stock 2000GT engine will not handle the rev range the stage 3 cam would require to give you the best gains.

I'm no expert, but form one noob to another, this is some information to consider. The experts will chime in and give you some better information more than likely correcting some of mine.
