I think it's a matter of WHERE you want the power.

Supercharger is instaneous and low, then tops out
Turbo's need to Spool a bit but then the power keeps coming till redline.

So the best fit, IMHO, is the one that matches your driving style. You can look at the Dyno Charts and think about where you hang out RPM wise.

All of my forced induction vehicles previous to the Redline have been supercharged and I also own a Buell Firebolt, So I have been used to the Instant On power vs the way a Turbo hits it's power.

That said, In looking at the Redline, and how it's power curve was, I liked it and after driving it, I was hooked.

What would really help is if you could somehow test drive or get a ride in a sky with 1 of each. Then you could get a seat of pants feel.
The one that makes you smile widest is the winner.
