The wait is long but the rewards are huge. Give the XCAL III a shot

Troyer Performance. The wait is worth it for the absolute safest, most powerful tunes available for these trucks.

Make that 4 votes for Troyer.
Although I vote for Troyer there is probably nothing wrong with going with Justin at VMP. To the OP, you're simply not going to get an unbiased answer to your question. Anyone who went with Troyer is going to say go with Troyer and anyone who went with VMP is going to say go with VMP. Troyer performance specializes in custom tuning the F150's while VMP specializes in custom tuning Mustang's, but also does custom tuning for the F150. For me that's what made my decision.

I have tunes from neither one, so I say do your research and go with whomever you want!
