There will be more differences between tires than between the same tire in a different size.
My advice would be to stay with the original size. It was incredibly popular so the prices will be low.

215/60/15 10mm wider, probably not a noticable handling difference in a Camry.
215/65/15 10mm wider, with a slightly taller sidewall which stands to improve ride / decrease handling response, and make your speedo read slightly slow.
I'd stick with the stock size, unless you can find either of the two other sizes cheaper.

Here is a rough tire calculator which helps in determining the potential for speedometer discrepancies when 0+ sizing.

FWIW, =/- 3% in diameter is the "norm" allow difference.

we didnt worry about handling or speedometer for the VI - there are no highways, youre lucky to go over 45 MPH, and mileage is a useless metric.
Of course, here in the states, its totally different. I dont see a real issue with the speedometer reading incorrectly - so long as youre aware of it and compensate accordingly. Handling prowess is another issue, though the actual realized difference is probably quite small.

my fiancee's mother has a camry in the USVI. Whe bumped up aspect ratio 5%, to prevent scraping on bumps and curves - driving is very severe there.

I think fuel economy would decrease with wider tires. For best fuel economy, stick with stock specs, or move down to slimmer tires, sacrificing handling for better fuel economy.
