Is HP Tuners really worth the money it cost? Or is it better to get a mail tune?

They are two completely different things, kinda hard to compare the two.

They probably use HPTuners with your mail order tune.

Its up to you if you wanna take the time to learn/research how to tune with HPTuners and know your vehicle is running exactly how you want it.

mail order tune is 70% of what the engine can do.
physically datalogging and making the changes yourself over a period of a few weeks in all sorts of different driveing habits and styles will tune your engine to 100%.
you make the choice.

I have a bone stock 2013 silverado with 5.3l. I would like to get into learning the tuning for myself. Plan is that when I'm ready to do my mods I will have some experience with the tuner already. Is HP Tuner rookie/newbie friendly?

100% No. If you really want to learn to tune, you're going to have to do a lot of studying, and most likely have to take some classes.
