Personally, I'm still using MegaTune. It's the old, reliable standard that most of the documentation seems to accommodate. Been meaning to install TunerStudio, but have been somewhat lazy...
If you're running Linux, I'd choose TunerStudio over Megatunix. If you're running Windows, I'd stick with MegaTune. It's not as slick & fancy, but it's simple.

I use Megatunix on my Linux laptop. When using it on my Windows laptop it tries comm ports in order (com1, com2, etc.) till it finds an ECU. In doing so it hangs at com3 every time (the correct one is com4) so it never connects.
Between Megatune and Tunerstudio I prefer TS. I love the gauge view. I use a modified layout to show just about everything. With my laptop mount when logging and the car does something strange I can glance over and see what happened and what to look for in the log later.
I also like the trigger/tooth logger in TS. I don't know if MT has this but I have never seen it.

The TS learning curve is steeper the longer you've used Megatune. I've got both, and TS is a superior program, but I still fall back on Megatune when I do customer cars just because I'm more familiar (and therefore faster) with it.

Haven't played with Megatunix at all.
TunerStudio is a superior application to MegaTune. It has a lot of 'nice' features like being able to have more than one dialog box open at the same time, and the dashboard gauges will all still work.
