Default new ecoboost...now with the mods:?

Got me a new 13 ecoboost xlt with offroad package. Now I have 3 things I want to do at 1st to get me started with my mods. All of them are in threads but dang it just goes over my head when I read that much.
1. I am looking to buy a programmer. Had an edge evo on my 07 n LOVED it. I'm looking for a tune with great gas mileage and/or little extra performance. More for the mileage. Never hurts to have more performance though. Looking at either the edge cts or the sct livewire. Or the versions under them.
2. Backup camera in under the 4wd switch. I know how I want the monitor but if I go emblem route which camera?
3. Ford remote start 100 series. I'm not worried about this one.

the sct programmer works great if you get custom tunes from what i hear. mike at 5 star and mpt seem to be the popular ones.

JUST CURIOUS! Not trying to hate on anyone at all. But, how do you guys (and this goes for all EB owners within warranty) justify rolling the dice with the warranty by putting a programmer on? God knows I want to but no money to pay if I play at the moment.

To help with a constructive comment, I have read great things about sct tuners with SoCal custom tunes. I know you can get a combo deal with tuner and custom tunes on the 5star website.

#3 is a piece of cake.
