In other words, get what is going to accomplish your goals, but if making power is your goal, go with a turbo.
Although I do agree with this for the most part, I have to disagree with the remarks to power production.

I've seen several 2.0L engines making over 400whp with a supercharger. And a lot of them don't push over 14psi.

A Supercharger can make over 350whp. But it takes the supporting mods to do so.
