Default Turbo vs. Supercharger (Discuss and Brag)

Alright let me lay it out for you. I'm wondering which is better in the long run. I mean each has its ups and downs. Here is what I think and I could be very wrong. Superchargers can provide more low-end torque (something I think alot of civics are lacking) and power boost from the start. They also MAY be more efficient/safe because they are self lubricating (at least jrsc). Turbos are definitely good around 3000 rpm at 7 psi but I am wondering how efficient/safe they are? BOVs and intercoolers rock hard too. Please discuss and use this as a time to brag about your ride.
