I got my chip from DP Tuner, an excellent company that specializes in all makes. There are several really good aftermarket companies that make either chips or tuners. I don't know that much about the 6.0 except that some people have had outstanding durability and others the opposite. The folks at DP Tuners might be able to answer any questions that you have.
Regardless of what you do, before chipping any truck you should find out what modifications should be made first. A standard list normally includes; larger exhaust and temperature/gages to help monitor the engine. I have a pyro gage, tranny temp gage, and boost.
A friend installed a chip in his and fried the turbo in about a week with no other modifications. A chip will build heat much more quickly and will also make it cool slower before turning it off. I would recommend those modifications even if you don't chip your truck. A high quality air intake, that also filters well will also help.
