I used to live in NEPA, Evan's tuning is very well known, though that was 4 years ago. Derek at IMW tuning does great job, and he's not too far. Great driving roads up there, but watch out for the deer.
I wouldn't hesitate to run the Ktuner system. I haven't had any issues with the tuner or the tunes in my Type R, and I have a lot of friends with both Hondata and Ktuners in their 1.5ts, running fine. Honestly, the clutch is usually the first thing go, and that's mostly based on driving style
