looks like the thread has slowed down in the past few months but i adding my experience helps at least one person then its all good
My first CTD was a 90 W250 auto (the old 727) back in the days of no intercooler and 160hp stock. Since it was a mechanical pump a friend who knew what he was turned it up to 280 hp for a 6 pack. Those were the days.
My second CTD was a 2001 2500 QCLB 5 spd manual. I towed a travel trailer a lot, wanted more mpg and simplicity so I straight piped it, modded the factory air filter housing and went with the Edge EZ. That turned the truck up to 330 hp from 235 and I was getting 25 mpg empty, 16 mg towing. I had to sell it for financial reasons, I still kick myself for selling it and miss it every day.
Now my current 2018 Laramie CCSB Aisin when I started my research I looked at Edge first since I had a prior good experience. The install was horrendous and it did not offer deletes. So I checked out a few trucks my friends own in the area. One had the H&S and the other had the RaceMe, not from DRD. The H&S was cheaper but only offered canned tunes. The RaceMe was nice and pointed me in the direction of the newer SOTF options with custom tuning. This was all before I found these forums. I watched several delete videos to see what I was in for and one in particular showed how the MM3 worked. That sold me on the MM3 as a tuner. It has the ability to do custom tunes and SOTF or the ability to program and removed completely if I wanted. So then it was a matter of finding a tuner. This took me months of scouring forum after forum after video. I had decided on a deal that was a good price but was hesitant to pull the trigger as I want to keep this truck a long time and they are very expensive and not getting any cheaper. I found a great deal on a closeout 2018 knowing this would be it for a long time unless I wanted a divorce (LOL). That is when I found these forums and the first thing that impressed me was the amount of good advice and like minded people I found here. A vast majority of them are loyal to DRD so I checked into it. I learned the previous deal I found was from someone well known to use other people's tunes and after seeing what Ray offered I knew this was the right person to tune my truck via mm3.
So after extensive research the MM3 was the tuner that fit my needs and I feel is the better tuner at least for the Gen4 but that is what the research is all about. DRD happened to offer what I wanted so it was a win-win in my book. FYI I have finished with my 2018 and my friend with the H&S likes the way mine runs compared to his and he is seriously considering switching over.
