You would do best to sign into one of the big Chevy truck forums and see what brands of programmers are popular. As previously mentioned, Banks' systems are very expensive and can be more items than really needed.
Note all diesel programmers are created equal. For tow purposes, they will also have a different transmission program that holds out shift points to higher rpm's.
Remember that you'll need to invest in a pyrometer, boost gauge and tranny temperature gauges if towing very heavy. I also have a secondary TruCool tranny cooler for my SuperDuty.
I'm running 60 hp and 80 hp tunes on my truck. I've had to pay close attention to the ball joints, tie rod ends, alignment tires and brakes to make sure they're all kept at 100% condition. Some trucks with big horsepower can be a handful on the street.
