The general rule is you buy the system that you have the best local tuning support for, unless you plan to spend serious money and import a well known tuner like RETed or Steve Kan or the Hitman, in which case you go with the system they recommend. Your options for a TII are usually considered to be Haltech, Microtech, Electromotive (TEC2/3), Wolf3D, and Motec. The decision is further affected by price, features required, and whether or not you like the tuning software. I personally use a Haltech E6X and its been very good to me so far. A full pro tune is forthcoming so I'm just runing on a base map which I have heavily tweaked for the time being.
Where you get it depends on the brand you want. I personally recommend Kickyride (http://www.kickyride.com) for Haltech as they are local to me and I know the guys are solid and provide good post-purchase technical support. There are other good vendors, K2RD (http://www.k2rd.com) is reportedly a good vendor for Haltech but they have not answered their phone or email in a few months. It appears they still ship quickly when orders come in off the 'net though - but I doubt you'll get much technical support for them. There are MANY more vendors for the various brands, including any major automotive performance store. The important factors are price and after-purchase support, which I score Kickyride VERY highly on and think its more important than sheer price by a wide margin.
Do a lot of searching, reading, and asking of questions (after searching and reading, of course!) before you make a decision.
