Which model is considered the best for computer control? I am considering a Ten Tec for my next contest station set up.

Don't flame me I am simply relaying an experience:
I have heard on contest lists that Ten Tec has too soft a front end for contesting, and that it should only be considered for casual
Dxing or for an "everyday" rig. 

That for true Dxing and hard core contesting, the Yaesu FT-1000D is the only way to go.

What are your thoughts and experiences on this? The reason I am asking is that after having my "new to me" OMNI D series B, I am not
sure anymore that the above statement is true.

This is a pretty tight rig.
