Difference in Power for Turbo/Supercharger

I was looking into getting a turbo for my 98 base prelude, but I recently found out that you can put a supercharger on my car as well. What are the differences of these 2 fi items? Which will offer more power, more reliability, cheaper price. I'm just trying to get a grasp on what form of fi would better suite me.

I'm not looking for track racing times, but I am looking for overall performance gaines, also I do plan on doing numerous bolt ons before I do these fi modifications.

I already did a search, and I didn't find the information I was seeking, any help is greatly appreciated.

How hard are you looking? The following process took me 5 seconds:
PO.com -> Forced Induction -> FI Archives -> "Turbo vs Supercharger (let the games begin)" (1st page)
Just about every other thread in the archive will probably be useful to you also. You can see everyone's dyno plots in the Dyno & Timeslip library stuck at the top of this forum.

Google is your friend. A simple search would help you a lot:
How Turbos, SC, and Nitrous Works
Honda-Tech also has good information:
