Choose a live mappable managent, OFAB/OFAC cant be live mapped easily, waste of time mate.
Megasquirt, Omex, Gotech, Cossie, VEMS, etc....

OFAB can run a bigger map sensor than the OFAC system

ofab is easier to upgrade because the map sensor can be changed easily to run more other than that there isn't much difference.
i was advised to go with ofab when i changed mine and have had no problem with it at all- i have heard of some teething problems with ofac on the other hand.
If your gonna run a 2.1 zvh though i agree with karlos you need a live mappable system or you'll never get the best out of it

ab uses an analogue map sensor and can be swapped for a 3 bar from a cossie. Ac uses a digital sensor that cannot be changed as there is no direct replacement, but it is a 2.5 bar sensor anyway.
