TW modes to get?

I have finally made a decision (maybe) on my chips. I have 2 Wildmans and love them on the 02 and my 97. However, with my new truck I need a good chip for it. I had been thinking about what to do with my 97 since it will be a company truck, and different drivers. Once they learn that ****, they run it all the way up everytime your back is turned.

SO:
I think I will pull my 6 pos TW from the 97, and send it to be reburned for the new 99. I will buy a single stage for the 97 with no ****, and tell employees that i took the chip out, so they will be less likely to jerk it around. Then all my problems will be fixed, except one:

What mode should i get? It tows a lot, but right now its never out of extreme except for high idle. Maybe tow?

I would get the low tow mode. Good shift points and a modest amout of power for towing.

I think that will be the best route. I don't want smoke, because no matter how little it smokes some of those old boys would be trying to romp on it and get it to puff and its stupid. So low tow probably would be best.
