Default which is more reliable s/c or turbo

i want to know whats the difference in reliablity cause to my current understanding a supercharger is more reliable but isnt it the same if i run 7psi with a turbo and 7psi with a supercharger, wont the engine be getting the same amount of boost?

yes and no it depends on the size of the turbo and which SC you use, remember if a SC "makes" an extra 75hp, its gonna "use" some of that power it makes to spin the blower so ur not really getting all the power you make

reliability all comes down to tuning, care, driving and installation quality

whichever set up is tuned better is the the most reliable.
