The holy grail of course is the STi ECU reflash, that way you gain access to the AVCS parameters, and that's when we'll start to see some uber-badass STis!
So, I'd avoid a MBC or stand alone EBC. I think Vishnu's Stage 1 for the STi, plus a ported wastegate is the way to go right now, but it's tempting to wait a bit longer and see what's up with reflashes in the near future.
Also, I hear ESX is working on a Project STi, so it might be interesting to see what they come up with. It should be out at the Buttonwillow track day March 22... and if I see it before then, I'll let you know what I can find out.

I know the UTEC is soon to come out. I'm not gonna go with the XEDE, just have been hearing a lot of bunk things about Shiv lately. I'm gonna stick with Nathan and TXS or Cobb. Cobb just released their tuning module for the AccessEcu or something along those lines that reflashes the ECU. Is that what you were talking about?
Dunno what AVCS is...?
What I'm curious about is if the EM solutions will actually need a MBC or will they use some other method built into the car to control the boost? I've never seen/installed a EBC to know how it works. That was my question I guess.
