Recommendations for programmers/chips

I am considering putting in a programmer or chip into my 05 F350 and was wondering if anyone has had success/failure with certain types. I have heard that SCT is the way to go but how do Banks and Bullydog rate also? The truck is studded and ready to go I just need input on what brand to go with.

i just got the SCT with custom tunes from Matt at Gearhead and i absolutely love it. mine is non-studded. Before that i had a edge because i ran that in my old 7.3. after the edge eating the transmission ( partially my fault also...towing too big of loads with lead foot) long story short new transmission and new tuner. totally happy! SCT is the way to go
