Wideband/Boost controller opinions?

I searched and to no success, I'm probably posting something that's been beaten. If it's been posted, let me know. But, my questions is wideband opinions. I'm looking for the best bang for the buck. My buddy has suggested a couple like the ZT-2 and others. My question is what setup is everyone using and what results are you guys getting?

I am running a bone-stock car that is going to get tuned the second I drop in a wideband and such. I still need to go out and get a boost gauge and controller as well. So opinions on a good controller is also welcome.

Again, sorry if someone is floating around. I have my flame suit in the trunk.

Better put that suit on right now buddy!!!
There are tons of info on the forum about this.
A lof of people use AEM wideband and when it comes to the controller, just get a manual one. Im using Hallman mbc too and it works great. Hope that helped.

The 3 most common options for the WB... AEM, INNOVATE AND ZEITRONIX.
and for the MBC, Forge/DeJon Tool are the most common.

I searched but apparently some of the words were too short? Bah. Forum searches are hit or miss. Thank you for your input.

I hear good things about FORGE and for $89, that seems to be a pretty decent deal. My buddy may be selling me the FORGE MBC and AEM UEGO so I figured I'd get a second, third, or fourth opinion. I know later on I may need to upgrade, but what do you all currently run for AWHP? Do they work fine even at 500+ or is that a time to swap out for something more high-end?

Why is that combo so popular? I'm assuming a ZT-2 would be a better combination with all it's extra abilities.
