Rich is taking the road less travelled here in this thread 
Nothing wrong with that. From what I hear, they are both great tuners for the 7.3. Might actually want to try Wildman's stuff out one day personaly.

Well, at the risk of beating a dead horse, I too vote for the DP Tuner.
I just put ~5300 miles on my Excursion on a cross-country vacation to Indiana, with the 80e tune. 75-80mph most of the highways, lots of start and stop (and low speed) thru Grand Canyon, Petrified Forest, Badlands, Mt. Rushmore, and Yellowstone. I averaged 17.99 mpg for the whole trip, and I couldn't be happier!!

I'm with Rich, Wildman tuning is great!
Either one is as good as it gets. Custom burning is awesome!
My favorite thing about what Tony did was programming the tranny to downshift as I slowed down, similar to what the Allison's do. It's great!

F5 chip is a DP-Tuner exclusive. TW or others use the old school rotary ****.

I'll probably get a wet noodle whippin' here but I'm running an Edge Juice with Attitude tuner which has 6 positions push button on the fly. I bought it as a factory refurb so it was considerably cheaper than the DP and I've been real happy with it so far.
I suppose I'll soon hear from someone telling me that it will turn my 4R100 into a molten mass of metal but it's been doing fine. I use my truck as a daily driver with occasional towing so I don't really stress it that much and I've got more power than I know what to do with so I'm pretty happy with it.
Okay, so I'm an old fuddy-duddy . . . . . .
