If you're going to use it primarily for tuning, the eddy-current/loading dynamometers are the way to go. Best way to accurately simulate what the car will see out on the road and on some you can hold vehicles at fixed rpms while tuning vice just making a pull through the gears. You probably won't make enough money on dyno days and regular dyno testing to pay for one, but if that's what you're interested in offering the inertia-style Dynojet units are better for power "readings". Customers usually end up unhappy trying to compare their numbers from loading dynos to the common Dynojet.
A couple friends over the years have had shops and bought/run dynos and you really need to have a good business case planned before buying one. They're super expensive new and even used units are pricey (that and possibly having to constantly dump money into them for sensors, calibration, widebands, etc.).
