Default Camber/toe/traction arms or RUCA for negative camber?

I'm trying to fit some 19x11.5 +6 wheels on the rear of my ucf20 and need from my estimation somewhere between 8 to 10 degrees of negative camber. It seems like RUCA from serialnine or arms from megan racing are the two ways to achieve this. Are there any down sides to the arms vs the ruca? The arms are half the price, but I don't mind paying for the RUCA if it makes sense to go with those.

Megan suspension bits are low quality. The heim joints wear prematurely and the welds aren't the greatest. Serial9 arms are high quality, the joints are replaceable, and they have a great reputation. If something were to break, they'd replace it. At least get the Serial9 rear toe rods as well to get the alignment as correct as possible.

remember fitment depends on other factors too, such as ride height and tire sizing.
as for the question at hand, it really depends on how far you want to go too since you cannot extend the lower arms too far or the axles will start binding. same principle with going inward, then you will start hitting the suspension and wheel well.

i ran only an adjustable lower toe rods (which are for sale), so i can fine tune my toe to minimize tire wear, though i had the stock eccentric bolts at max negative camber.
i only ran a 11" wide wheel with a +25 offset so it was relatively conservative compared to your setup; fit great with a 275 wide tire on there, fenders trimmed only! i estimated this setup at about -6 deg camber but i don't have my alignment sheets nearby.
