Default Upgrade from eCtune to What ??

I'm currently running eCtune with Ostrich emulator on a 84x89 Turbo LS/VTEC street/strip car

84 x 89mm
9:1 CR
Sleeved Block
Upgrading my Holset Super HX40 to a 67mm
1600cc EV14 Bosch injectors
MSD Digital 6 ignition with HVC coil
E87 fuel
Currently using BBG, dual maps

I'm looking at upgrading the ECU to have more features like Traction Control, On-board datalogging, Flex Fuel support etc

The 3 options I've looked at are:

1) Hondata S300 v3 with TC module
2) Haltech Elite 1500
3) AEM Infinity Plug In

Pro's

1) Plugs straight into existing wiring harness and has pre-defined tables. I've also read that because of OEM Honda coding it requires less setup to achieve smoothness and drivability.
2) Easy to use tables, gaining support and popularity and has many configurable features
3) AEM offers an OBD1 plug-in Infinity which makes it the easiest standalone to switch to

Con's

1) Hondata now seems expensive once you add the TC module and potentially CPR, taking it into full standalone territory
2) Requires custom wiring and doesn't really have pre-defined tables and settings for Honda
3) Mixed feedback and results

Any advice/suggestions will be appreciated
