They are like $20 and suppose to let you gain 20+ hp. Does it matter which one you buy? They all claim same thing and some of them are non dinnan or confortti.

the cf would probably look nice, but you run the risk of someone trying to jack it.

Normal rule of thumb, which I usually think works pretty well. If the car is naturally aspirated and not modded, a chip won't do shit*.
