While I don't have any personal experience with the PowerFC, I would personally stay away from it due to the fact that its a discontinued product. I also don't like how copies of the tuning software and base map are considered some rare guarded secret and don't seem to be easily available for download.
The biggest thing I like about my megasquirt is that it has a large active user base, and its very easy to ask the developers for new features in both the firmware and the tuning software. Also the community members freely share their tune maps to help each other out, which is a rare thing in the engine management scene. The only negative that I have about it is that the 3sgte community is very small and you are left to figure out fair bit of vehicle specific things (injector dead time, ego correction, etc..) on your own with a lot of your personal time invested into it. ECU master also looks good, but I haven't heard any user feedback. I like what I saw from the Vi-Pec PNP, in terms of how well their basemap was setup for the 3sgte. HydraNemesis is also worth a mention for being a very good product and for being developed by RickyB, who is probably about the most knowledgeable person when it comes to the 3sgte. However the ecu extremely bizarre pricing where they try to charge you $300+ for software features that come free on other ecus even after you spend over a grand on the hardware.
