For me, It would really depend on what I was using my car for, and what kind of car it is. For example, I'd much rather have a supercharged SUV than a Turbo, esp for low speeds(and low RPM, too). I'd like to have a turbo on a diesel, or a BMW sports car. I'd want a supercharger on a muscle car, or on a large gasoline engine (IE, the 4.3 chevy, the 5.7 chevy, and pretty much anything over 350CI). On a Z06 Corvette, which is fast enough as it is, I'd like a Supercharger. I guess all in all, I like superchargers better. I'm not sure why, but I think the whole ricer scene kind of ruined turbos for me a little bit.
