DBW has been treating me good so far in my DD. I will say that tuning it isn't as hard as I expected. It's nice not having to worry about the Idle air circuits, plus the PCM can easily modulate throttle so it can compensate for many drive-ability issues you see with a cable operated TB. You tell it desired air flow and it does the rest.
From an aesthetic standpoint; It also looks much nicer sitting in the engine bay.
The only issue I've ever had is a wiring issue caused my truck to go into limp home mode. It essentially sets the throttle at about 1500 regardless of pedal input. It's a little bit of an inconvenience, but a necessary evil. At least it lets you drive it back home.
If I didn't already have my PCM and harness I'd easily switch to DBW.
