Even though they make their boost at somewhat different points in the rpm range, I would say that at the same max boost level the turbo will always win because (a) you can easily intercool a turbo, and (b) a turbo doesn't sap crank hp to make boost. Of course this is all extremely dependent on the supporting mods and tuning that you do, but I think it is fair to say that for equal investment a turbo almost always wins and it definitely has better future upgrade potential.
