2) using a OBD1 ecu means that you can get it remapped by JWT or others. No one so far has the ability to crack OBD2 thus you are pretty much stuck with it....unless you use an AFC or some sort to fine tune it...the car would still run great, but not best.

That's not totally true. JWT has cracked the OBD-II code for some cars. They can reprogram a SR20 ECU up until 97. They can also tell you how to use a 97 ECU in a later chassis. That is what they did with their B15 turbo SEMA car. I know a bunch of folks running a 97 ECU with a 98+ car.
When JWT reprograms the ECU they can kill certain things that will throw a code.
