In the end its gonna be up to you and your comfort level with tuning...HP Tuners is not a canned programmer like Predator...with HPT you the end user push the buttons to get the "Perfect" tune rather then just hitting the go button with handhelds which can get you close. HPtuners is a professional grade tuning package consisting of editing software, scanning software & some of the best hardware money can buy.
If you feel you have some free time to learn how to tune by surfing our help file www.hptuners.com/help as well as our online help forum you'll more then likely do fine, if not I would probably recommend just getting a tune done by a reputable shop because in the end all three cost about the same amount of money, HPTuners is the only one though that will allow you to tune several cars without having to worry about unlocking one
As stated above, it really is up to you. If you plan to frequent the dealership for service/warranty repair, the Predator is great because you can flash back to stock easily without the need for a laptop in the car. It does come with a preprogrammed tune for your vehicle, and also performs diagnostics, live data monitoring, and data logging all without the need for a laptop in the car.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
