Default best ecu option for Ver 5 in the USA?

Ok, so I am nearly finished with my ver5 swap into my rs. I ran a ems 8860 in my last engine. I really had no support for tuning the EMS 8860 here in the usa. Most of the tuning shops here had absolutely no clue on how that system worked. I have ditched this set up and now will be running the factory ecu that came with the ver5 engine. It seems as there are many options here in UK/Europe, but what would be best for me overseas? Obviously I want something easy to use and with the least amount local tuners messing with it. My understanding is the JDM ECU is programmed for higher octane/RON ratings that I cant readily get here in the usa, so I am a bit nervous about this. I am keeping this car fairly close to stock this time. Mostly suspension work, less on the motor.
Any suggests, comments are appreciated.

Hi there

Speak to ESL,their ESL Daughterboard is really worth to have look,just due Mafless,dual maps,ALS,LC and many other functions

Here is their website

http://www.enduringsolutions.com/

Second option is go with Syvecs,great ECU with 8 maps,Wideband control,Knock control,ALS,LC for no extra fee,NOS/Water Methanol control,Flexi Fuel,datalogging etc

In USA is dealer and mappers for Syvecs,but I would speak with Syvecs directly

Depends on the budget,but ESL Daughterboard are much cheaper than Syvecs,but Syvecs have lot more functions
