ECU Editor on my 08 Busa. I've had a power commander on a 1000, and many of my friends have them. They work well with a good dyno tune. The ecu editor is far superior though, as it basically does everything.
Power commander was an original that set the standard. Many a bike has been tuned well with them. The ecu editor just happens to be alot less well know and only offered for a few bikes as of now. We are just very fortunate to own an awesome bike that this thing was designed around.
The Busa also has 8 injectors, where as the power commander can only control 4. So a good tuner can make your fuel map even better/smoother with ecu editor too.
The ecu editor controls alot of functions that can easily be clicked and changed.
Power commander piggybacks on the ability to upload and use new base and custom fuel maps(and sometimes ignition)and that's it.
Ecu editor allows you to completely control the bike's ecu and basically change whatever you want. You can always put it back to stock settings too. It gives you the ability not just to work on the mechanics of your bike, but to be able to work on all of the computer's settings. Their is a ton of info on the ecu hack forum and the customer service and support from Greg is second to none.
You just need to find a good dyno tuner that is familiar with it. The ecu editor does also have some useful functions that you can easily do at your computer without needing a tune.
It's aslo only $208. This has to be without a doubt, the cheapest most benificial part that you can put on your bike! I can't wait to get the exhaust I want so that I can have mine dynod.

I am not surprised to see you asking this question 
Hopefully you have a tuner nearby that has a proven track record using the ECU editor.
BTW, hre's another member asking a similar question (i.e PC 5 vs ECU Editor) and as expected, almost unanimous vote for the ECU Editor: https://www.hayabusa.org/forum/gen-ii-busa-information/150434-might-swap-pc5-ecu-editor.html
P.S. It's not too late: cancel the dyno on TUE.

Well the dealer put a PCIII on my '08 with the brooks short meg. I would have been much better off just flashing the ECU
I did a turn around trip to my tuner, he too was 6 hrs away. It made for a very long day. My bike was on the dyno for about 5 hrs. Made a few pulls, let it cool ect... Well worth it and I would do it again!

remember the fastest stock with pipe 08 Busa uses a pc3 (tuned by Johnnycheese)it really doesn't matter what you have the tuner is the key
Bike only knows what the tuner can provide, hope he knows more than how to change cells..

The big advantage ECU Editor has is that you wont need to add more electronics ( add more wieght) to the bike. On a GENI the PC would be the way to go,but on a GEN II use the ECU Editor. I drag race my 08 and along with a WEGO III data logger w/o2 sensor I can compensate for changing weather and track conditions. I also use an air shifter and the EE program alowed me to remove the killbox and control the ignition and fuel cut for the shifter. I can adjust ignition timing, injector balance, secondary throttle plate angle,
and the is also turbo and nitrous control modules in that program. I have been using it for almost 1 year and it has made a HUGE difference in my et and speed. My et has improved by over .5 from a 10.18 down to 9.62 and speed has increased from 138 mph to 147 mph. Those #'s dont lie there is something to this

So what else has changed? .5 sec and 9 mph is major horsepower. That can't come from tuning alone.

Would a faster 60' drop the time and raise the speed that much?
