I would say this depends on your goals overall. I voted supercharger (specifically a Sprintex kit if possible) because it met my immediate needs. It has instant tq and best of all, it has the amazing whine (I'm all about the theatricality). I use it for daily, autocross, canyons (have yet to get time off for track); compared to my wife's FBO WRX on 91, I can take her (245s have trouble sticking in 1st from a dig, but otherwise rolls are good)
In retrospect though, I should have just gone with the 335 kit and a bigger pulley to ensure I had room to grow (starts at 300/300ish e85/90mm pulley and IC) vice going with the 210 kit and a smaller pulley (tops out at 300/260ish with e85/69mm pulley and IC).
Additionally, heat soak is a big consideration so an IC and e85 is required for either kit. I added a ceramic coating to my header (Gruppe-S UEL), Verus vents, oil cooler, and heat tape for the intake pipe and experience much lower IAT temps than before (I stay at ambient/slightly lower versus ambient plus 10-20, and oil temps are max at 220 vice 245).
P.S. I identify as a muscle car
