depends on application. if you were daily driving and want a punch from the getgo i suggest a SC.
if you want more power and some delay before receiving it, i suggest a turbo.

however, both must be tuned and have good engine management -- none of the cheesy ones they give with the kits

If your goal is a fast 1/4 mile car with high hp/tq numbers, get a turbo, lsd, new clutch/flywheel, good tires and engine management and you're set.

If you just want more "oomph" in daily driving and don't need to go all that fast in a straight line, a s/c is somewhat less problematic, easier to install and also offers the "instant" boost gratification, as Kal mentioned.
