if you want the most, standalone. in my mind, piggybacking is a way of getting by till you can afford a standalone.
standalone allows you too completely tune every aspect of your fuel and ignition (depending on product). piggy backing is mostly "fooling" a few sensors to input false signals to the computer, so you can bypass stock restrictions, to a certain point (this still depends on what product you purchase).
mind you, standalone learning curves are steep, and most of the time not very inexpensive. u have to be patient, careful and willing to put in the work.
ive seen and read about several mk3's and 7m powered vehicles cracking the 350 and even 400 barrier on the stock ecu's. past that im unsure how far the stock ecu would be effective, and the afore mentioned cars were pretty heavily modded aside from the ecu.
someone else undoubtedly has more experience and information on this particular area.
