Default lq4 FI set up?

So the car is already fairly built but we need more. I was looking into a twin turbo kit or supercharging it.
Pros and Cons
Which kit/ company would you recommend?
Looking for a very drivable kit with a good power gain.
Here is the mod list:
LQ4 shortblock, TSP ported oil pump, LS2 timing chain, 62cc PRC Stage 2.5 LS6 heads, PRC duals, 10.55:1 compression, PatG/EPS 238/242, .604/.605 112+4 cam, LS7 lifters, MTI clear lid, LS6 intake, Shaner S3 TB, Warlboro 255 with Hotwire kit, SVO greentop 42lb injectors, Pacesetter LTs, TSP Catted Y, Magnaflow, Monster Level 3, 4.10s

All input is appreciated.

Thanks, Dillon.

Super Charger
Pro: You dont have to change the exhaust.
Can be installed over the weekend.
Cons: Less power than turbo, because you got to run a belt 60-80HP depending on setup. KenneBell is the best kit IMO. Cost $5000-$7000

Turbo

Pro: Very budget friendly. Free HP cost the engine very little to get this power. Aprox cost $500-$2500

Cons: Lot of exhaust work, piping ect... I hear KY has a great kit!

I did all my own work it cost me maybe $500-$600, for turbo setup.
