experience yields that a turbo will be less reliable than a super charger. the benefit of the turbo is that you don't have to have a lot of power to generate boost. with a super charger, because it is run off a pulley and not the exhaust, it takes more power to generate boost. i don't feel that that would be an issue on our cars though. SCs don't suffer from turbo lag either. i've never been in an S with a turbo or SC, so my opinion might not be what you are looking for.
it's your car though, and that's what is important. i think it is unfair for people to say that it is pointless to put FI on our cars. i drove a forester XT before i bought Stewie, that was a subaru stationwagon (small SUV) with a turbo. it made the car quicker than the NA version and that was the point.
