What question are you trying to answer? Are you looking for one yourself?
I have an Apexi AVC-R, and have been very pleased with it. TONS of features, lots of feedback and monitoring options. It's not for the novice, as it's easy to get lost in the options and tuning abilities it has.
The Profec B is a great choice for an entry-level controller - very reasonably priced, easy to use, and works great.
I plan on upgrading to the new Greddy Profec E-01 when it comes out early next year. It will tie into my E-manage and has even more boss features .

Depends on how much you're looking to spend. You can also check out Ebay - I've seen older HKS EVC I's going for like $100 before, and they're excellent boost controllers.
Really, the only one I would say to avoid is the Profec A - it's a piece o' crap. Pretty much any other boost controller from a Japanese manufacturer is worthwhile.
I have seen many people get frustrated with the AVC-R since their skill level wasn't up to tuning it in.
What kind of turbo do you have?

I say go with the profec b. I mean what do you need from say the avc-r really? I planned on getting the avc-r but now have decided to go for the profec b. It has what I want, a high and low boost setting. And it has the adjustability of the wastegate response. Plus the fact that the s-afc and avc-r are the same size and have quite a bit larger face than other EBC's. Theres also the Blitz dual sbc and the HKS EVC 4, but they are like $450, up there with the avc-r. I guess it just depends what you need or want to pay for.

You're going to need more than an S-AFC for fuel if you start messing with the boost. The S-AFC is great for tuning down larger injectors, but not that great at tuning more fuel out of the stockers.

I run a Gen I A'PEXi Super AVC-R EBC.  I've got nothing but positive results with this unit.  I've heard the newer AVC-R with the blue screen can be a pain to work with.
The GReddy PRofec (A) has been known to "barf" in it's self-learning with turbos that creep.  This is why a lot of RX-7's can't get it work consistently.
The Haltech boost controller is a pain to get working nicely.  If it works for you, then you don't need to mess with it ever again.  If it doesn't work for you, you'll go through hell trying to get it to work.  Personally, I'd rather have my boost controller "outboard" of the EMS.

HKS EVC I, as Dale suggested. I've been using mine for about 2 years or so. I got it from Dave Gibson way back. Very nice, VERY easy to use. Again, it can be had for around $100.00 if you look around.

The Profec A can only work on cars with NO boost creep whatsoever, which is a very rare situation. A car with stock exhaust could probably work well with it, but most people have already done exhaust by the time they get a boost controller.

the plan was to have
walbro fuel pump
greddy 720cc injectors
rebuilt with porting with RB streetport template
port the wastegate
safc or maybe greddy emanage... but i dont ahve a laptop right now...
boost controller and call it a day.
the most hp i want is around 275 at the flywheel.
i want to remain around stock levels of modification...
