I have a Type R V4, and down the line I intend to exchange my Apexi ECU with handheld controller for something better. If i hang on to the car long term, my plans will include going to a 6 spd JDM DCCD box, bigger turbo (Borg-Warner or possibly an SC42 or SC46) and more power...It's a semi closed, forged 2.1 stroker with FMIC and currently running a VF35, 5spd DCCD with UK 5th gear and making about 350 hp (ie: maxed out)
What's the general consensus about Syvecs vs Simtek vs Alcatek?? Any pros and cons? Simtek seems about half of the price of the SYVECS set up, but I don't know if this is reflected in the performance or if it's down to their branding?
Any thoughts or opinions appreciated.

Syvecs is all singing all dancing and certainly not a requirement on a 20 year old car

You could certainly get similar results on something A LOT cheaper, ECUTEK, simtek, link, etc

Speak to a reputable tuner close to you for advice

Thanks Wrighty..the trouble is, a dealer would probably advise the one he stocks...

Your mapper is the most important part of the equation. Force him to use something he doesn't know, and you'll get a sub par map.
Find a dealer you like, then use what they are good at mapping.
Or decide on the ECU, and find someone who is familiar with it.

I wen't for a Link G4+, all of those you mentioned are more or less worthless outside the UK if you wan't to get your car mapped. Of course that's not a problem for you but wanted to give you an alternative that's larger globally.
