Default Supercharger or Turbo?

I've been doing some research on the direction I want to take my car and it seems to me a lot of people go the turbo route. I would think folks would go the Super Charger route since it seems there's less hardware involved. (IE, no intercooler since the the super charger seems to bolt directly on)

Can someone tell me the pros / con's of each?

Also, I'd like to keep my AC. (live in Florida) Which one would I go with if I wanted to make that happen?

Thanks

People make AC friendly turbo manifolds. And Supercharging can keep your AC.

So either or it doesnt matter, what do you like better?

You can make bigger power out of a turbo.
