I've heard they're having lots of issues with the Xcal III's right now. May want to talk to the folks at Troyer before going in that direction.

That said itreally depends on what you want. If you want guages that you can use after programming your truck then you could go with a Livewire. If guages don't interest you then the Xcal II or the Xcal III would be your best options.

Xcal2 would be the way to go. They are still working bugs out of livewire and xcal3.

Would the Xcal2 become outdated once the Xcal3 is wokring correctly?

Nope. Does the same thing as the Xcal III except it won't hold 3 canned tunes as well as 3 custom tunes like the Xcal III will. The Xcal II only hods the 3 custom tunes, but when you have custom tunes who needs canned?

I've heard it's firmware issues.
