Simtek is fine for NOS control and is a 'proper' ecu. Martyn at enginetuner runs one in his own car

Send the ECU to Simtek for a firmware upgrade and solenoid driver, then it can be used to run wet or dry nitrous. I would recommend dry if you have the injector capacity available to supply the fuel. Then get someone to map it, preferably someone that has a history of doing this without blowing the engine.

I had a Simtek on my race car in 08/09 and developed the Nitrous control software with them. The car ran 9.04@160mph on the Simtek so yes its a 'proper' ECU.
