Tbh, I've had both HDi and XUD now, and I still cant really choose a side per se. They both have their good points and bad, and it really does just come down to personal preference. The XUD is easy to tune and maintain due to lack of ecu, but its quite raw and noisy, whereas the HDi is quiet and refined, but fairly pokey (baring in mind mines still got the stock ecu software, but i was surprised how pokey it was for standard), but you've got an electronic brain to work around when tuning.
So yeah, just depends what you're after from your tuning experience really. Can't say ive heard much about HDi's being unreliable...wouldnt say they're hard to get power from, as long as you've got the equipment and knowledge to do it, or know someone that has. Theres a good few members on here that are able to remap HDi's, so that shouldn't be a problem. XUD is a simple case of turning various screws to increase fuelling and power.
