Default Supercharger vs. Turbocharger on B16A2 in a 99 Civic?!

With winter comming I am getting some ideas for next summer. I plan to drop a b16a2 in my Civic EX It will be a daily driven car so I want something reliable and with all around good response. I definately want some forced induction becuase Im looking to outrun as many mustangs as possible I love speed.

My two top choices were the Vortech Supercharger Kit or the FMAX Turbo Kit

I dont really know much about superchargers so the comparison is hard for me to make. I just recently drove a turbo civic and the response was terrible at the beginning but when the turbo kicked in it was fast. I think that might hve just been an improper install though. I really like the look of the intercooler and the sound of the blow off valve so I was leaning toward the turbo but any info would help thanks everyone!

short answer...
Super chargers use extra gas and crap or whatever,
turbos use waste from your already used crap..
Im basing my decision on that. paying for lots of gas sucks..

Thanks for covering this one Art.

BTW, I've got a turbo D series and still consistently get between 38-40mpg.
