Default throttle body porting options

i was wondering what the best way to go was to get my throttle body ported. the only companies i found were katech and jantzer performance. i would be sending off my core to get the work done. are there any other vendors out there that perform this work? if not, which is better? one thing i like about the jantzer over the katech is that they eliminate one side of the piece that holds the butterfly valve.
