I don't have any experience with the Live Wire, but I have the Xcal3 and have recommended it to all my friends and the one's who got it seem to be really pleased with it.

yes you would have to get gauges,the Xcal3 is a hand held programmer that after you program your truck you tuck away in you center console until you need to program or read DTC's again, you could go with a Quadzilla commander, I run a Edge Insight, or you could go with a A pillar gauge system

I use the SF3 and am very pleased. Like goodridance said you should have gauges at least an EGT, unless you tow a lot then then I would add the trans temp. There is a good selection of custom tunes to choose from. Whether you go SF3, X3, or Livewire you will very pleased with SCT.
