depends on your mods. a dyno tune is gonna be more specific to your car and get it more dialed in, but if you dont have a ton of mods or any real big mods like cams or head work.. then the handheld would be just as good.
If your gonna get a handheld tuner and use the performance tune it has, then you should get it dynotuned also. The tuner will get your engine in synch with the mods you have. If you've got a Catback, midpipe, and CAI, then I'd get the tuner. You'll gain about 12RWHP and TQ after the dynotune. Not sure what you'll gain with the initial "can" tune. Plus the tuner has quite afew other functions you can use. Pull codes, gear changes, traction control delete, 02 sensors, and some other stuff.
Well either way when you get the dyno tune youll have to buy the handheld tuner. If you're pretty much stock there is really no need to spend the money for a dyno tune.

If you live in or near a major city, it should'nt be hard to find at least a couple performance shops with a good reputation. I know in the regional section of this site, people are always mentioning performance shops that they have used that are really good or bad for their area. Might want to start a thread their and ask and you should get some responses, or use the search and see if a thread like that has been started for your regional area.
