well, everyone has an opinion. you prolly hear good things about them from people who have them and have never had a turbo. i can almost bet you haven't found one for 1k dollars or less, therefore, you would be better off getting a turbo, it will be cheaper, more easily upgraded, and you will never be able to make as much power with a supercharger as you can with a turbo. about the only positive thing about an sc, is that you don't have lag.

you can change the size of the SC's drive pulley to pump out more psi... 5psi stock, smaller pulley = faster spinning = 7-9 psi

Well from what I have seen there really not all that impressive. I have raced alot of them and a basic dohc zc swap takes a stock si crx with one of the jackson chargers so it's not all that fast. For the cost unless it's less than a grand skip on it and by far the best f.i on hondas is turbos.

SC hondas are very slow. It takes soo much power away from the motor just to spin the damn thing. Also would you really want to be changing pulleys all the time for more boost? But if you really want a charger a centrifical blower from Vortec is 100% better than the roots blower from jackson racing

word to above, superchargers are too spendy, plust JR bearing have been know to fail, rendering you useless. Get a turbo and a smile, and save the cash for brakes
