Megasquirt is neat, but on any serious F/I MSv.3 is the only thing that should be used, and they have had enough stalls with it/ the ignition daughter board to deter most people from ordering it. You utilize the stock harness, just repinning connectors when necessary, a few sensors might need to be changed as well (on the v2.0 we used the default parameters were for GM so we just used those).
I think there's been updates in the way of sensor computability though.
Most of the guys on http://www.2jzswap.com/vbulletin/ are running the AEM unit I believe.
Have you tried the megasquirt forums?

Re: best bang for the buck EMS
depends on what you wanna do.
You can use the stock harness, make a jumper to the ms. That would use the stock fuse box and all their relays.
You can gut the stock harness using all of the stock sensors and fusebox/relays, just wire them directly to the ms
you can run the sensors directly through inline fuses/relays to the ms
you can buy a fuse/relay board and wire sensors to it.
