Oh man, I had my new remote from Christmas over 10 years back still in the box in the basement.
It was no longer manufactured but still unused.
I took it to the shop and ask if it was good to be installed. The guy says "Oh yea. We don't know why they quit making these. Everyone wants one."
So he installed it and it is great.
Doesn't matter what brand - no more available!
I'm sure there are many good brands available tho.

Nice rig. You can scratch a few items off that list for performance. The coils will not add any power. The stock coils have plenty of fire power, enough to support 800-1000hp. Unless you are experiencing spark blowout from high boost levels you don't need stronger coils.

80MM throttle body. Useless as well. The stock 5.4 flows roughly 500 cfm's of air at 6000rpm's. The stock throttle body flows over 600cfm. So don't expect any gains.

Just curious, with that extra 121 ponies, what is your 0-60 time and your 1/4 mile ET and mph?
