A Turbo is a more ideal device from an engineering stand point. This is due to the parasitic power loss from the supercharger drive belt. Where as a Turbo is driven off of exhaust gases. There for ther will be a short amount of time while the turbo spools up, this is "lag". Modern turbos spool up faster due to many technological advances, ball berring center sections, ceramics, etc....
Just a few thoughts on the subject
