Cool SC vs TC

I own a 2.4L SS/NA and I'm planning to go either turbo or supercharged...as of right now everything performance wise is still stock on my car. I was on ZZP looking at some of the kits they have on there...my question is which is the better route? I know it comes down to personal opinion in the end, but I figured it be good to ask.

Also do their kits come with everything needed (aside from tools obviously) and ready to install? Or am I gonna have to go buy a bunch of different stuff to actually get the job done?

I'm not really to knowledgible with either one...which would be the easier one to install??

I haven't heard of anyone installing ZZP's supercharger kit yet, so I can't speak to the ease of install for that, but it wasn't too difficult to do it on a pieced together kit. Not for the faint of heart, but not impossible either.
