I haven't gone FI yet, partly because warranty, partly because I don't have the cash to do it properly (there are a few suspension and aero changes I want to make alongside FI if I go that route, so it's going to be expensive), but if/when I do, it will be with a supercharger (probably the Jackson Racing, CARB-approved kit).
The reason is the superior transient response of supercharged engines-- they just feel much more like a naturally-aspirated engine in that regard. Turbo cars can be a lot of fun, but the responsiveness of supercharged cars is really nice to have, especially in cars like these that were made to carve up corners. Balancing the car on the throttle mid-corner is so much easier when you're not having to think half a second or more ahead to predict what throttle inputs will get you x amount of boost in how long. Half a second doesn't sound like a long time, but when you're trying to time an application or reduction of torque to coincide with some mid-corner lump in the pavement ahead of you, it feels like a long time.
