I went with APR because Achtuning is local to me, but theres also REVO and Unitronic that lots of people around here have gone with.

I went with Stage 1 last Summer while there was a Sale going on. Fully loaded 4 program ECU w/ Security Lockout and Fault code erase for $550 or something. One of these days I'm going to buy bigger injectors and bump it up to Stage1+.
As far as who to go with, I would find a local shop that is a dealer for one of the big 3 (the tuners I listed above) and go with what is local to you. If you ever have any issues with the tune its pays to have local support and easy access.
Some people might say Stage1 is a waste, but I'm very happy with the uptick in power and torque from just the chip. $550 for ~40hp and 50ft/lbs is a fantastic deal. So long as you stay on top of oil changes and regular maintenance, you shouldn't experience any less reliability than stock.
