I'm contemplating a tuner myself so I'll be watching this poll with interest. I'd be interested in seeing some additional comments from the folks participating in the poll as to why they went with their particular flavor of flash.

I went with GIAC for the immediate/quick need for speed. At the time I wasnt sure if I would want more then what I have, but immediately after getting the flash, I wanted more. Now I regret going this route.
I will soon be taking a larger step and it will not be with GIAC. So the money I spent will be wasted.
In short...look before you leap. Make sure the route you take is the one you want, or what you will want in the future.

Protomotive. This was to be the first step,since I knew I would want more and this was the path I chose. Just waiting to see if there will be a next step.

GIAC here. I chose them since I will probably upgrade from my stage 4 to the GT 640 or 700 in the future. I am pleased with the program so far, although I have to adjust my wastegates when the weather gets cold.

I'm modding on a budget. Upsolute the first time for about $700 and then when I upgraded to K24's, paid another $225 for the K24 flash.

so far so good and haven't broke the piggy bank!
