Standalone:
AMS EMS - not yet available for the IX, no ETA
Hydra - available?
HKS Vpro - available?
Piggy-Back:
Utec - not yet available.
Xede - not yet available.
Flashes:
Dynoflash - Available now.
Ecutek - Available now.
AMS Flash - Available now.

If they had release the new update a week after the last update it would have taken to long for some people.
The new UTEC update for the 8 with have speed density which is a tough thing to engineer. It will be one the first hybrid to have full speed density, full timing control, and full fuel control and still pass OBDII inspections.
for those the don't know what a hybrid is it is a piggyback that has its own drivers for fuel timing etc... it does not modify input signals to change output signals. It makes is own output singals off what you tell it.

P.S if you can't tell I am kind of a UTEC *****. I like it alot but I know there are other solutions out there. This one is just best for what I do. If I was all out drag racing with a GT35R or bigger and wanted to retune every season I would have a AEM.

UTEC is sounding better every day
only fault in your thinking is standalones have offsets for weather, no need to retune unless you want to.

I might go get a custom flash from Shiv, that is if I magically find 750$

If you want something good i will go for the hks fcon vpro. I have on my evo ix the aem 1320 and im taking it off to put the v pro . Aem is good but the v pro has much faster response. Dont waste your money on ecu flashes or obd tuning . Your best bet is spend a bit more money now and get it over with

I cant speak from experience (yet), but here's what I ended up with. I purchased a used Accessport for a little over half of what they normally go for. I plan on doing an etune with cobb, cost of $175.00 for basically a tune sent via email. Although there are many resources for tuning your own car here, I simply just do not want to risk it.
So for right around $550.00 I got the accessport/custom e-tune on the way. not the cheapest, but certainly the easiest for what I needed - the ability to change maps quickly, no need for a wideband/datalogging equipment (I plan on keeping the car as it is now - stock). Being in utah and local to cobb helps because I feel that I can just take the car down to them for some dyno tuning if I'm not happy with the e-tune service. I'll let you know when I get it all squared away. Still waiting for the AP to get here. How will it all treat me? I'll let you know once I get it all squared away.
