Hey man,
You don't need to do the charge pipe at the same time but it's reccomended because of how the install goes. Your stock will fail. My stock failed at 70k miles with no tune or anything. So if you have the $ do it at same time.

In terms of brand, it matters. Depends on how the use of car will be and how far you will be pushing it. ER is great, ATM is great, AA is great, I personally went VRSF because I daily my car and don't do crazy pulls a lot and just wanted something better then stock that wasn't breaking the bank and it's doing the job.

Also, install isn't bad. I took my intercooler and charge pipe out just with Ramps under my car and did it in my drive way. Hardest part was just getting the charge pipe to angle correctly since it's 2 separate pieces connected with a silicone housing. I went VRSF 5" HD IC & BMS charge pipe. Both do the job and price was great. 350 & 219
