Which DP tune(s)?

I have a 85 hp Bullydog chip in my truck now, but was thinking maybe getting the DP. Should I chuck the Bulldog and get the DP? And if so, in addition to the 80 econo tune, which other tune(s) should I get. I occasionally tow a trailer that weighs between 10-15k around hilly Southern California. If you guys had to pick one tow tune what would it be? Thanks.

Why would I ever want to choose just one tow.
For only $45 more you can have both the 40 & 60. There are to many variables when towing to only have one choice.

Sorry for not saying what's on my truck. S&B cold air intake, 4" down pipe and exhaust, 4.30 gears, and guages.

With your 4.30's, i would think that the RPM's would be just right for the 60hp tow, plus id get 80 econo, and 120 race, along with stock and hi-idle.
