Supercharger - unproven, but good fuel economy, linear power curve, zero lag, cheaper than single turbs. Looks like a beter daily drive option on paper, especially with the newly released DIY Supra conversion kit from Blitz.

I think you have a few mis-conceptions about turbo engines. One thing I don't agree with here is fuel economy, a Roots type supercharger will always produce boost, making it feel like a bigger engine but will be just as bad as a turbo. With a turbo, providing you are easy on the throttle it is quite straight forward to drive off boost.
Zero lag in a supercharger also depends on the type of supercharger, a Roots type (like the Toyota ones) will produce boost off idle, whereas the Blitz one or something from CAPA will most likely be centrifugal, producing boost directly related to revs so you won't be making full boost till full revs, personally i'd like the big mid-range and top end whack a turbo can deliver.
You might be beneficial picking up a later model HKS turbo, you'll probably find the 250-300rwkW you are after is available with not a HUGE decrease in boost response over the factory 2JZGTE turbos.
