Wow, didn't realize it jumped up $50 in the last 12 months.
I don't really think going with one company over another really matters. There is just a certain amount of timing the car will take and go lean enough to be safe. Maybe other will get couple more hp out of you car by pushing the timing and AFR to the max, but if you want to good results and a senservative/safe tune then just go with AMS dyno tune.

Sorry I just found my receipt. It was actually $235 for the retune

Would it be better to install a mbc and then have a custom dyno tune? I think that would add some hp's over the stock boost control.
That will be it for the mods then. I want to do it once and be done. I don't have a spare car and don't want to be swapping clutches, trannies, transfer cases, etc.

i would just do a base tune, because within a month your going to be putting on more parts, thats just how it goes! lol once you start doing turbo upgrades and want to extract every hp out of it, then do a dyno tune, just my opinion

Mellon does a really good job, but i agree that it is a lot of work. Find a good shop and get a dyno tune.

Do you already have a boost controller and/or a wideband? Ams used to be pretty strict about those 2 things. I am pretty sure you at least needed a Boost gauge.
You will be very happy with an AMS Tune. I have been supporting AMS for the last 7 years and their products and tuning and customer service are amazing.
