Turbo and programmer question

Curious which programmer is best for 2008 F-350, Spartan or H&S or other? Also truck is currently in for turbo replacement curious to know if there are any known causes. And if so if one turbo is being replaced is there a strong chance the other is not far from replacement and could this be caused by waste gate malfunction or other?

Thanks

Turbo failures are rather rare with this motor.

tuning depends on how you use the truck and where you live.

Emissions may play are part in this.

I live and canada, so emissions are not legal regulation. I plan on putting a programmer, intake and exhaust on this truck to primarily assist with fuel mileage and power from what ive learnt so far spartan and H&S are my best option just curious to hear others opinions on it.
Thanks
