Can't speak much for other widebands, but my JAW works well. www.14point7.com
EFI Live does black box data logging and flashing, free custom OS upgrades, cax OS hacking, licensing is done PER PCM (not per tune file/VIN), digital wideband input is a big benefit.
I also find the interface more intuitive and it gives much more detail about what the table or setting does, and links to related tables.
There is much more, and I have had and used to own both.

Do it. Buying a tuning package has been, by far, the best mod I have done for my car. Figure out which package suits you best (EFI Live or HP Tuners), invest in a good wideband (again - read, research, decide, and buy), and then read, read, read, read, and read to learn the system and how tune changes affect it. The scanner is your friend, and with your own software you have all the time in the world to tweak your tune into "perfection". You can learn alot on the forums by searching and reading, and you can also purchase books or DVDs to further enchance what you'll find here. It's a big up front investment, but well worth the price of entry.

I have had efi live and now hp tuners and can honestly say that hp tuners is soooooo much easier to navigate around in. I instantly picked it up and was up and running much faster than with efi live. Sometimes searching and looking around in efi live can be a pain. My vote is for hp tuners. Just my opinion so I hope no one gets butt hurt about it.
