Default Programmer recommendations

I am looking into adding a programmer to my '07 JK Rubicon and was wodering if anyone out there has looked into it. what are the main brands and which ones are recommended. i was at the 4wheelparts show this past weekend in ontario and i checked out the Jet booth and they recommended the stage 1 chip. is this any good? is there a better one? will i notice the difference? My JK is still pretty much stock. will be looking into getting the air intake next?

A friend of a friend works for Hypertech, so we're about to put in an order for 7 or 8 programmers.

Two for me.

As far as I know the Jet chip isn't something you "program" so to speak. All you do is plug it in and "it" does all the rest, as in....nothing for you to program. It talks to the computer itself, does it's thing, and you get what you get.
As far as the Hypertech units these guys are talking about, they actually get programmed by you. You can use it to change a number of things.
As far as I know you plug in the Jet and you get a bit more power, and that's it.

Hypertech max energy here. I've had it for a week. I like it so far. Not life changing but gives a little power.
