Default best PCM to use?

I know there's a sticky or thread somewhere with recommendations on which PCM to use for swaps. I've searched for a while and can't find it. Thought I had it bookmarked but don't.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks

Mine is LS3 top end (no TB yet) on LQ4 short, 4L60E, using 2000 LS1 fbody harness in a '95 body...
but the thread I was looking for wasn't swap specific. It had more general info on using the different PCM's available...pros/cons of each, what they came out of, which ones could use diff OS, had more tables to modify, more common, etc...

Unless someone jumps in and says I'm wrong, avoid the 98 PCM if you have a 99-02 harness.

Do you have a DBW throttle body?

just the stock one from the LQ4. I'm not sure what size that is.

I noticed in your original post you had an LS3 topend so i figured you may have an electric TB, no cable.
