Default Help deciding on which tuner program for me

I have a 98 z A4, with a lid and catback. Wanted to know which program would be best for me. In the near future im going to add the rest of the usual bolt ons and a h/c combo. I want to be able to change timing, shift points, and be able to delete egr, rear o2s , and AIR. I am new to the computer tuning so i would like something user friendly. I am computer literate though so i can learn. lol I know i have the crappy PCM as far as year model goes. Any help would be appreciated.

EFI Live or HPT....can't go wrong either way. Go to EFILIVE.com to play with their online version.

If you have a buddy near by with either version, you might want to buy the same so you can help each other learn the system.
