Default Which chip for 2004.5

This has probably been hashed and rehashed but I couldn't find it. I will be trading my old 2001 Dodge 2500 auto for a 2004.5 auto, both 4x4s, and wondered about chips. My 2001 has a Edge juice with attitude that has worked quite well for what I do which is pull a 9k toy hauler. I have never gone more than level one which seems to do nicely but shortly after putting the chip in at 93k the torque converter started slipping so $3k later and all is well but I now want a dually to handle the 1100 lb tongue weight plus the 9k total. I don't race or sled pull but just want a bit more torque for towing. What I am asking is how does the Edge, Smarty, TST, Bully Dog and any others compare. I don't think I want to raise rail pressure.
