I would go with the SCT X4 or the MyCal right now.  The tunes are dialed in, and continue to evolve even more than anticipated.  Doubt you will regret it.
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

If you have a transverse EcoBoost (like a SHO) HPTuners should be good to go unless Ford changed the ECU for 15-up to match that of the 15-up F-series/Mustang which is different from pre-15 F-series. The guide I wrote up for SHOs should get you started relatively quickly. HPTuners may not have every single setting unlocked but neither does SCT. HPTuners just organizes it better and the VCM Editor and VCM Scanner programs run faster and are organized better. I even switched from SCT to HPtuners for my Mustang GT so that all my vehicles are tuned via HPTuners.

Thanks SHOdd and metroplex!!

I went with a SCT for now.  Keeping the HPTuner though since I already own it and can add credits later if I want to switch.

Shoot me a line if you ever decide to get rid of your HP tuner. I MIGHT be willing to take it off your hands

Even if you use SCT for tuning, the HPTuner comes in handy for datalogging especially on an EcoBoost Ford as it has almost full DMR PIDs instead of just SAE, and VCM Scanner IMHO is just easier and faster to use than Live Link.
