If you're not very familiar with tuning, I'd go with a Hydra for a Miata. I think you'll get much better support; especially if you buy it from FM.
On the other hand, I'm quite pleased with the AEM so far myself but I have to rely on my tuner to use any of its features.

looks like you can get all of these from a properly set up megasquirt. PNP would be a great choice for you

Find someone to build you a custom MS2E setup w/ the injector driver board. And get a custom made 36-1 trigger wheel setup for ignition input. Then you'd have a badass setup. But it's finding someone that will make it for you that will be hard. But it would be cheaper.

i would LOVE to run ms2 but i just cant find anyone who would build me a setup! i mean... id love to dump $600 on it if someone would make me one that i could just plug in, set timing, dwell, and tune my idle. from there i would have my tuner do the rest.

If you are very budget minded, skip the wiring harness and build one yourself.
