Without getting into subjectivity...

Reasons Superchargers are the better option
1. Less moving parts makes them more "reliable"
2. More Predictable for average Daily Drivers
3. Less time consuming to install (variable)
4. Some types can be designed to not leave you stranded if a belt breaks.
5. Less heat in the engine bay during hard driving

Reasons Superchargers are the lesser option
1. More maintainence.
2. Less torque at low RPMs due to being belt driven
3. Not Upgradable without changing at least one of pullies, belts, or supercharger units
4. No additional belts to break if using a turbocharger
