Turbo > superchargers always!
Superchargers take power away because they need to be driven by the engine by a belt in order to compress the air. Turbos take no power away from your engine to compress the air. Turbo's are way more efficient, have more potential to make more power and are more reliable. As long as you properly size the turbo, you won't have to worry about "lag" or having no power in the lower-mid rpm range.
What kind of use will the car see, how much more power are you wanting to make (don't choose a certain amount of boost), and what kind of budget to you have?
