You'll find just as many if not more users that prefer HP Tuners over efi, with over 8000 members on our help forum you'll be backed by a huge resource http://www.hptuners.com/forum/index.php
For more information on both this is a great place to start https://ls1tech.com/forums/pcm-diagnostics-tuning/368718-read-me-best-ls1-tuning-software-best-scanner-best-handheld.html
I was an HP Tuners user for several years before working for them and couldn't be happier with the product and now being on the customer support side of things they now have some of the best product support in the industry

I've used both and EFI LIVE is the better tool. You can download the demo version of EFI LIVE to get a feel for it. HP doesn't do this. EFI LIVE has far more advanced standalone capability. EFI LIVE you get free custom O/S's. HP you pay. Also I know cosmetics aren't really important, but damm the HP unit looks like **** compared to the V2.. The same goes for the software layout IMO.
I prefer EFI Live, but i suggest you look over both forums and decide which one is better for you.
If you decide to go with EFI, Give us a call we can make you a good deal on EFI Live and a wideband as a package

i will be buying tuning software soon also, i will be buying hp tuners because of the support. i know nothing about tunning so i will be learning and will need alot of help. just look at how fast you just got a response from them. they respond fast and they also stand behind and support there product. i'm not talking bad on EFI live or there product but HP tuners always responds fast on here. good luck on picking your software. this is just my 2 cents
EFI Live + Roadrunner is a much better RTT tool, but its expensive
HP Tuners has RTT for alot cheaper, but its very limited compared to the roadrunner
It really depends on the user, if you are only looking to tune your car and do basic stuff, HP tuner's RTT is probably fine for you
If you are pushing the envelope and doing alot of testing/cutting edge tuning, the roadrunner in my opinion is the only way to go.
The original poster asked if anyone close to him had either so he could check them out for himself, Roadrunner is not efilive nor does it come with it and not everyone is willing to spend the extra $800 on top of the $750 pricetag the V2 unit has that is being touted in this thread. Whereas anyone with hptuners, even back to the old serial style interfaces has an opportunity to add Real Time tuning to their interface that could be demonstrated if need be, I myself even created a demo on how simple it is to apply and use our RTT custom operating systems with about a 5 minute startup time from the time you sit down in the car until the time you could be tuning in real time its about as simple as it gets with no 3rd party to have to go through for hardware issues since your utilizing the factory hardware

In the end they are both very capable tuning software packages with or without real time tuning, only ours costs less up front & gives you more vehicle licenses(up to 4 LS1 style) with your initial purchase.
