Default I would go with whatever your installer supports...

Depending on your location, if you can find someone that does it in house that is always the way to go. Otherwise if you don't mind paying a little extra for the name I don't think you could ever go wrong with MTM....

Default I would go GIAC.....reason being..............

Garrett has been making some leaps an bounds with the M box. You'll notice people from time to time complaining about flat spots in the torque curves. No such thing with my chip. PLUS (big point needs CAPS :P ) You are stuck with the one MTM chip. If you notice on Garretts web site they will re flash your chip with a new program, 1.1,1.2, race chips, etc. for $20. With the MTM you are stuck! Plus the Garrett is cheaper and customer service kicks butt.

Now with DPs,cats,etc it is a blast to plug and play with different chips. having one is way to boring if you ever plan on refining your driving skills on a track or strip.
