edge programmer
Edge vs. SCT isn't a good comparison. Edge is canned tuned while SCT is custom. Gryphon vs. SCT is a more fair comparison. The custom tunes will always be the best bang for the buck, so pick a programmer with the features you like and a tuner that has a good reputation. Power Hungry Performance (Gryphon/SCT), Troyer Performance (SCT), 5star tuning (SCT), VMP tuning (SCT) are all highly respected in the tuning world. Search their sites and even call and talk to them to make your choice.
^^ pretty much nailed it. If you're looking for custom tunes, SCT and Gryphon are really popular here. There's TONS of threads about tuners. Search, and every question you have about them will be answered.
