It depends on the application. The Unichip and the E-Manage are both just piggy backs, meaning they just manipulate the signals sent to the stock ECU. This can be a good thing in situations where the operating conditions aren't that far removed from stock, because all of the niceties like idle control are still OEM quality. However on a seriously modified engine you're going to run into problems trying to bodgy it with interceptors.
The Haltech on the other hand is a complete replacement ECU. This means it controls everything. Obviously for the most modified situation this is best as it allows full control of all operating parameters. However it's also a hell of a lot more work to get it to start and run like a OEM management system.
Apples and Oranges really.

Yep the haltec can run coil packs and the piggy backs will only really do it if the original engine was running coil packs.

Hang on. I'm not saying Haltec is the computer that is best for your situation, just that it is the more versatile of the items you listed.
