What distributor with FiTech EFI?

Just went to move my Charger with the FiTech. I am really happy with the FiTech unit so far. It fired right up and ran fine in 30-degree weather. I wish it would stop snowing already!
The FiTech instructions are not very good. Not sure about support as I never had to call them. There is a Facebook page where users help each other.
The Holley Sniper and Super Sniper are priced the same as FiTech for units that have about the same features and power levels. The lower cost FiTech units don't have the ignition control option. I like that Holley has better instructions, I don't know if there support is better or worse? I like that the Super Sniper unit has a few options the FiTech does not have.
One difference might be if you want the ECU to directly control the ignition coil. The Sniper uses a "coil driver module" that does not come with the kit and adds $99 to the cost, where this is built into the FiTech. I am using a MSD6AL ignition box, and either unit can supply the RPM signal to the MSD box without the additional coil driver module.
I don't know the fuel pump power and bypass specs for the Holley Sniper? The FiTech is rated to power a fuel pump up to 15 Amps, and can do Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) of the pump power (not sure the PWM is a big deal?) The regulator is said to work with 340 lph pumps. I am thinking of adding a fuel pressure gauge, and seeing if the rail pressure changes between using the 340 LPH fuel pump and Walbro 450 LPH pump?
I have heard different CFM flow ratings claims between the different brands too? I have no idea how they measured these to make comparisons, but unless your making huge power N/A it likely won't make a difference?

I want to say they are both very similar. Just depends if the buyer cares about having customer support if required. Can't wait until the 3x2 systems are offered.

Here is the manual that comes with the Sniper EFI system;

Sniper can bypass up to a 450LPH fuel pump with the internal regulator.
Holley Sniper EFI is rated @ 800cfm.
I want to say nothing else is required to run it directly to the coil, i'm 99% sure that even my base Sniper kit came with the coil driver module which I didn't use.
Holley recommends that a CD ignition system is still used on the tech forums, which they do offer excellent support if required (https://forums.holley.com/).
I'm not sure what the max amperage of the large 'blue' wire is, but it's plenty for the 13-or so-amps that the Walbro 255 will run and it's long enough to fit any vehicle.
Nothing else is required for a 650-680hp N/A application, which the unit is capable of supporting at around 80-85% injector duty cycle.
