Same options are available for both. There is an advantage for both outside of this.
Flip Chip - Can be toggled on the fly between tunes, for example a nitrous tune and N/A tune. Can easily also be transfered to other cars with same computer code. Down side is the install, sanding contacts, etc.
Flasher - No chip installation required, just plug program and play. You can easily download new tunes onto it and program the car. Down side is not being able to swap tunes on the fly, and its locked to the ECU.
If you want N/A and Nitrous - Flip Chip
If you want just N/A or Boost - Flasher

X-Cal 2 for sure. Retunes are done via email, vs sending the chip back and forth all the time. Good luck driving a decently-modded motor without the custom tune in it for a few days while you wait for the chip to be sent back.
