In a basic theoretical sense, it comes down to heat management (Turbo) versus more mechanical parts (Supercharger). In practical terms, it really comes down to the quality of the design and installation and whether the needs and capabilities of the driver are met.

I would do more homework before deciding based purely on input on this thread.

Start with learning the basics of how an internal combustion engine works (air in, fuel in, mixture compressed, mixture ignited, piston rotates crank, exhaust out). Then learn how both FI solutions work so you can see what's being offered on the market so you can better process their designs and user feedback related to your needs.

You don't need to have years wrenching on your car, but I would recommend a basic mechanical understanding of how your engine works before going FI.

A few key things. Pay particular attention to how compression ratio and boost with valve timing and duration affect detonation and pre-ignition based on the fuel to be used in the car. Then look at the whether the stock rods and pistons (then transmission, axles, wheels and tires, etc.) will support your desired power output.
