for most ppl depending on overall power goals should be the deciding factor on what kind of management to run...
heres how i break it down in my mind:stockish setup - intake, exhaust, boost bumped a few psi - safc works fine for you
modded stock setup - small/mild turbo upgrade (t3,rb25), bigger injectors (440-550cc), intake, exhaust, fmic - chipped stock ecu + safc
mildly modded setup - mild turbo(t3/t4), big injectors(440-550cc),intake, exhaust, fmic, maf upgrade - chipped stock ecu + safc
agressively modded setup - big turbo (gt30r, t66), large injectors (550-720cc), intake, fmic, full exhaust, large maf upgrade (z32,q45),cams - power fc
power setup - same as previous cept for silly large turbo and injectors - aem,haltech,pfc, ect...
high power/revs - for people going past 9k - aem,haltech, ect...
keep in mind that what i say here is subjective, for almost everyone a power fc will do nicely, 20x20 maps definately isnt bad resolution wise and its plug and play so it works first time. as you move on with the diffrent stand alones you do gain more resolution but also start reaching points where you also have the ability to destroy something quicker (pfc is simpler, less stuff to muck with ). i had strongly considered the aem or a haltech but i couldnt justify the price for what the car was going to be used for, so for me a pfc will do fine and if i do run out of resolution then i'll proly go to a haltech.my .02
