Default Best piggy back out there????

So I'm finally getting close to having all my parts to go turbo. Last 3 things missing are my turbo, exhaust and some type of piggy back system. Now since this will be my daily, I'm just building it to have 450hp max. I'm not looking to make a million hp at the fly wheel. So yea. My question is, what is the best piggy back system I can use for my na-t set up. I know there are haltech units and pro efi units and aem units, which are all way out of my budget for now. I was looking at the apexi safc units. Does anyone have anything better that will work on a auto tranny??? Please let me know. Thanks.

The 3 best options

1. AEM F/IC (Fuel Ignition Controller)
2. Apexi Safc NEO
3. Greddy Emanage Blue

I have experience with all 3. The AEM F/IC is the closest to stand alone management without the price of stand alone. The Apexi Safc NEO is probably the cheapest/easiest/simplest to use but it is also the least effective because it doesn't have time control options. The Greddy Emanage Blue is probably my least favorite option because it is not very user friendly but it has many many great features. Which ever you use make sure you have a wide band O2 sensor so you can keep an eye on all of you changes.

Map ecu3 wires up as easy as the AFC and has near stand alone control. AFC is crap and only has fuel trim provisions which if you are boosting a non turbo motor from the start you'll have to retard all your timing or blow your motor. the map ecu2 and 3 have fuel and timing adjustments as well as traction control, boost cut control, speed cut control etc etc etc.
