Okday, Superchips pre-programmed tune Flasqpaq is really meant for stock vehicles, although some minor bolts on were reported to help as well. Diablo Sport Tuners give you the option of sending the unit back or updating through the internet for specific upgrades you may have completed other than stock. Example: Inatake/Headers more air coming in and out the computer can be reprogrammed for these modifications. Superchips as well lets you update through internet if they come up or discover another program that may give you more horsepower or economy mode. They both can act as trouble code readers as well as logging certain data aquistions from your vehicle.
If you dont keep making modifications, no you shouldnt need a tune. Some buy the flash tuners and I heard of some guys going to the dyno shops and have them tune your vehicle. I know with the Flash Tuners if you have to take your car back to a dealership it is always good to de-tune so that the dealership doesnt flash your computer and erases your tune to where I "guess" if you have it dyno tuned you will lose your $150.00 and would have to have them tune it all over again with their equipment.
One other thing I have discovered if you have a Diablo Sport Predator tuner, and if you have other modifications, you can take it to a dyno shop and they will use the manual setting adjusters to tune your car on the dyno to get its peak horsepower etc. Hope this helps. I just found most of this information out by researching differernt forums and product websites. Hope it helps. Atleast I think I got it right. Sounds good.
