I've only had the common issue of a squeaky pulley, which I replaced and its been fine since. I daily drive, put on at least 10K miles on the kit, and have had no other issues. Vortech addressed a lot of the early issues with part revisions, and a different size belt. I replaced the belt/pulley myself as a cautionary step(squeaky pulley is annoying and will most likely lead to failure), and have had no problems since. My belt still looks brand new, even with the smaller pulley and everyday use.
I have a manual, and as far as I know vortech doesn't ship the older blower anymore, and anyone who got a kit with the older blower got the blower swapped out to the new blower.
You can try to rotrex units as well, such as the kraftwerks/JR kit.... the power delivery should be very similar and tons of people are running those kits as well.
Any reason you wouldn't go with a turbo? A modest turbo kit will provide more low end power than a supercharger, and might be a better choice if you don't want to always rev the nuts off the car to enjoy the peaky SC powerband
Also, unless you are getting a good deal I would skip the Borla UEL and go with a revWorks... ft86speedfactory carries that header if you are ordering parts from them
