Obviously the stand alone controls all, but I wouldn't discount all the piggy backs. Also he should probably pick a system that allows him to download prebuilt setups so he doesn't have to setup everything from scratch.
For learning about engine systems and EFI in general, as seems to be his intention

What can i use?

You program a piggy-back by telling it how much timing to add or subtract from the stock ecu's program. As long as it relies on the stock ecu to work, it's a piggy-back. If you want exactly 25*, you need to know what timing the stock ECU uses at that load-point, and then do corrections from there.
As he mentioned before, his real goal is not to get up and running in the least possible time -- it's to learn how timing and fuel curves work and what effect the parameters will have on the engine. e-manage (piggy-backs) will NOT teach that, only a standalone could.
The e-manage is an excellent performance tool, but not much of a learning tool (for his purposes).
