This is probably been answered here, or in the chip thread already, but here goes:
You only really need a 2 stage if you are looking for different applications. tune 1 is stock, and tune 2 is your towing tune, or drag strip tune. Same thing goes for the 3 stage. Tune 1 is stock, then 2 is your aggressive tune, and 3 is a tune for race fuel at the strip.
If you have certain mods, like headers, MAF, TB, SC, TC, you need custom programming, which, obviously, is more expensive. Check out motorhaven, they explain it very well

Joe,
Dont get the wrong idea about the stage 3. Headers arent something that requires its own tune. They cause your chip to be re-burned. You wouldnt want your performance tune to not recognize headers. It wouldnt be beneficial to you at all. 3 stage is mostly for NOS or race fuel tunes, something you wouldnt necassarily use all the time. Or, something you would use all the time, like having an 87 octane tune.
All those other mods that require a new chip are just that, the whole chip. Not a single tune to recognize it.
