The appeal of a SC is its simplicity, reliability, and low end power/torque. What are the downsides other than the above mentioned heat soak.
Also I have searched the internet and I even bought a book on street supercharging. All of my research suggests SC are better. Why else would TRD use a SC? Surely Toyota can do no wrong.

Putting heat-soak aside, I think it would basically come down to personal preference and what type of power you're looking for-- low end grunt or mid to top-end speed.
