We ran the Edge CS w/attitude on our 03. The reason I went with that one over the Smarty is because of the screen display. I can see what's going on and can makes changes on the screen as to what is monitored. I only ran it on 1 (econ) or 2(tow). If you don't get carried away with the tuner, your trans will last. I had the trans built because I have a friend who does them for me, inexpensively. We would average 14-15 mpg towing an 11,000 enclosed trailer.
I went with Bully Dog for the same reason. I like seeing what goes on. Also I like the fact that it de-tunes when it gets to preset parameters.
I towed on the tow tune for the first couple trips and then I just put it on the 140 hp tune and left it. Unlike fish, not all of us race our trucks just because they are fast. My ole truck is right at 100,000 miles and still running the factory 48 that everyone says is junk. Been towing way over the trucks capacity on the 140 hp tune for at least 50,000 of those miles.
