The Vortech kit looks nice and clean. The Innovate kit looks nice and clean. The AVO kit looks nice and clean. The P&L, Full Blown and FA20CLUB kits look OK but I'm not in love with their turbo placement. Kraftwerks has me wary of their separate pulley system, and Jackson Racing has me a little put off by the "I pieced this together in my garage" look to it. I'm sure they'll both be reliable and make power, because they've been in the game a long time and built some serious cars. But dayum are they ugly!

The way they have it set up should take a lot of strain off their tensioner and put zero additional strain on your OEM tensioner. Considering how many have had problems with shreding belts with other superchargers, I'd consider that a very big advantage.
