ALG and MAG are both good guiding companies. They will both taylor a trip for you if you want. I havn't been a client with either but know a few of the guides. AGL create good future clients, if you are a climber already you might find their course a bit slow. They also seem keen to stay around tas saddle/kelman areas, and often "encourage" flying out. MAG operate at Aspiring and Cook, so location isn't an issue, because they are based in Wanaka they will often fly into Pioneer from the westcoast (while everyone else is stuck in MCV).
Don't rule out other companies like Adventure Consultants, or contact independant guides ( several of the guides share a parks concession, insurance, etc), this could be cheaper. The NZMGA has a list of all guides on their website.
