I think it depends on where you want your power. If you want low end power then a supercharger will work just fine for you and probably be cheaper since you can buy a used one off of an 03-04 cobra. A Turbo is going to be more expensive but is going to provide better high end power.

Myself i would go with dual turbos. I believe you can get ones that run off exhuast or off your rad. The one running off the exhuast works as long as the exhaust is hot. The rad ones take the heat from your rad so you need to have your car running at normal operating temp before it will work properly.
And with the turbos hidden no one will really now that it can roast the tires off it and leave the everything else seeing tail lights.
A supercharge will get you noticed and they know what your packing.
I think the element of surprise is much more fun
(i perfer the turbos running off the exhaust, the hotter the exhaust the more it works)

TURBO free HP superchargers are very hard on the crank and front main brngs because of the stress generated by the belt of the supercharger.

turbo, as it makes free power rather than causing drag on the engine to spool and make power like a supercharger. granted turbos have some lag, but it varies on what size you want. plus with the sts system they mount where the mufflers go so the charge gets cooler and there's no excess heat under the hood and no tight fitments under the hood.

superchargers are easier on your engine so you will have longer engine life. Turbo is too ruff on the short block there not smooth as the supercharger when it comes to boost

Supercharger would be cheaper and easier. if you did it your self. but if money is no option you could get a engine built to handly boost and slap a twin turbo setup on it. and make some serious power. just my 2 cents.

Superchargers work instantly, while turbos have a definate lag when stepping on the accelerator.

super charger is overall easier.
with a turbo you have to get the exhaust routed to run it and you have to plumb a oil line to it and a return oil line
