Default Any good truck programmers or chips out there?

Hey Guys, I have been looking for a nice programmer or chip. I had previously purchased a defective Juice With attitude and think I may want to go a different direction.

My truck is a 2006 Chevy Duramax 3500.

Things that I like.
  1. The ability to swap between more than one mode. Eg from economy to performance depending on if im hauling 24,000lb's behind me or not.
  2. On the fly swapping was nice but I don't think that is available for anything but the Juice with attitude.
  3. Ability to plug in a laptop would be really nice. I think EFI live programers could do some of that.
  4. It would be nice if I could do fancy diagnostics such as Injector balance rates but I am not sure if that is possible.
Things It MUST have.
  1. I would like real improvements on fuel economy. (Above only 2 mpg) My truck is a bit too thirsty.
  2. I debated between must and would like but my truck acts up enough that I will include this in the must section. I need the ability to do diagnostics. I would like to look at the PID's (ESPECIALLY THE FUEL RAIL PRESSURE) and be have somewhat of an idea to fix my truck if I get stranded.
Thanks
