If I have both a brand new cam, and brand new lifters, does it matter if they’re the same manufacturer? |

No, these parts can be (and often are) supplied from different manufacturers. It is more important that the parts are from a high quality manufacturer. Most SL6 camshaft "blanks" are still made in the USA so material and workmanship is pretty good. "Made-in-China" lifters are getting more common and can be suspect. DD |

What I have are Melling lifters, and looking at a Comp Cams .220/.220 |

Why use an optimal-for-nothing camshaft from Comp Cams when, for less money, you can get something better for your combination from Oregon Cam Grinding or others? |

consider Hughes Engines, http://www.hughesengines.com/Index/index.php when I spoke with them at the ICH Swap Meet they said they have many original Mopar cam profiles that are designed to take advantage of the large diameter Mopar lifer. The story was they have additional grinds available beyond the slant six cams shown on their web page. |
