Both of them are very distinctive in sound, but a basic turbo setup will be quieter than a supercharger because of the exhaust restriction. If you recirculate the blow off valve into intake piping, you won't hear it between shifts.

Supercharger options are crap on Hondas. A turbo will be way more efficient at power and there is a lot more aftermarket support for turbo setups over supercharged setups.

Spanking a 350z doesn't take much. They are slow, heavy cars.

Focus on making it look sleeper for now and then focus on making it sound sleeper later.
