Supercharger is belt driven and has no lag, turbo is driven by exhaust and is not belt driven and has lag though newer applications have gotten that down very low. Turbos require oiling while some if not all superchargers are self lubricating

Turbos will make more power more efficiently . Superchargers generally cost less and are easier to install.

Supercharger kit manufacturers usually recommend 7 or so LBS of boost on the stock 3.8.
