Thanks for any advice

With only bolt-ons there most likely won't be a huge difference, but an initial tune can sometimes cut the cost of a dyno tune in the future (if you use the same tuner). With a dyno tune you will actually get the car under load and the tuner can smush out that last extra horse, plus you can discuss your driving style and possibly change the tune based on that. In the end it's up to you, but if you're looking for every possible bolt on pony, dyno is the way to go. Is your car an a4 or an m6?

At least you don't need to worry about a transmission tune! I'd still vote for a dyno tune, I think with the LT's and no cats you'd be leaving a bit of power on the table with a handheld. Might be worth your while to search around the pcm diagnostics & tuning section and decide for yourself.
