I'd say go the turbo.
Advantages - Ability for more outright power, huge choice of turbos, mount it wherever it fits given that you'll need a custom manifold, more common and so more knowledge about them on small 4cyls, can adjust boost electronically.
Dis - Need to make a custom manifold.

As opposed to a SC,
Adv - good low RPM response, can use your current extractors
Dis - Need to mount it up and run a fat belt to it, not very efficient at high RPM, not many small superchargers around (although I could just be ignorant).

Choice of turbo would be very important for such a small engine, so do some homework and ask around.
