Find a local shop that has both brands on display. Even if they aren't the same models the user interface doesn't change much from one to the next. Play with them for a while and see which interface you prefer, I like the Pioneers

Aftermarket HU's will work with the stock amp and speakers. It doesn't do much as the stock speakers are kinda junk. You can replace all of them but the door woofers without swapping the Bose amp. To swap the woofers requires a new amp, and at that point you might as well rip out the whole stock system.
