New 2009 F350.... Which Programmer/Chip??????

Need help with picking out the best programmer / chip for my new F350 6.4 diesel????? This is a dually that will be outfitted with a 5th wheel to pull an RV trailer..... This will be the primary use.
I have had an F250 with an edge in the past and was pleased with it's performance but have heard some horror stories about the new 6.4 engines being more tempermental etc..... Just want to improve my gas mileage and perhaps improve the power performance, etc.... .
Any suggestions will be appreciated....
THANKS....

there are Spartan, SCT and Banks as what I see most people having. Since it will be used for towing you will not want a big tune.

I am running the banks so I can comment on that one. For me it works. It is a safe tuner, maintains all factory safety limits and works with the DPF. Easy to install and on the lower settings is safe to tow with.
