I can only tell you from my personal experience. I've had both, and even though there was only a 2 hp difference (same dyno before and after) the car performed noticeably better with the custom dyno tune.

Best bet is of course a live tune on the dyno... But that is also the most expensive.
I have done 3 methods... Basic mail order tune, live dyno and one that is a mix. The mix is pretty cool.... Where I get the module from a guy... I do WOT runs with my laptop and send him the recorded runs. Then he tunes a PCM based off my runs. It allows iterations on tuning by trading pcm's.
I only one guy who did this... Pm me if you want my contact. I think it cost me like $250 total.

It's really more about the tuner than the method personally for me.
I would rather a mail order from Frost then any dyno tune from anyone within two hours of me. I don't care if it was a 4xx 106mmturbo Open Loop speed density blah blah...
Whatever you do just make sure they are competent enough to do it properly and take care of you.
A good tune is worth the 3-5 hour drive to Fran96SS giving that you are on the east side of PA.
