Default Supercharge or Turbo. What should I do?

I have a 89 CRX Si and I want more power. What are the pros and cons of both?

I asked the same question but not on the boards at a shop and I was shown 2 dyno graphs of the same peak hp and tq.. Turns out the turbo is great for low end and top end but if you have a high rev car then you can spool that supercharger up for some nasty top end. I am thinking SC because I drive an RSX and I have some head work done and can rev as far as my ecu will let me. The supercharger coincides with your rpms and you will see a steady line on the dynos. Turbos have great low end and they reach peak hp and tq a lot quicker than the superchargers which typically reach peak at highest rpm. Let me know what u decide.
