Prepare to be yelled at by a lot of people.
I'd check the stickies at the top of the forum and also try the search function (if it is working today).
But... since I'm bored I'll give you some quick links to some helpful threads (there are some better ones out there, I just can't find them quickly enough right now).
forced induction rankings
TRT vs Procharger
There is a hell of a lot of information in this forum if you look hard enough...
STS vs Procharger

The ATI ProCharger is a well proven method of going with forced induction. Order it and have it on within two weeks. I'm still not convinced there is a good turbo kit on the market. Many companies have tried to come out with a turbo kit, and many of them have taken deposits, but have gone under before getting the kits to their customers. When an oem company puts a turbo on a new car, they spend millions in R&D, the aftermarket just can't afford to do this.

EPP has a lot of experience with this, both the STS turbo and superchargers. The supercharger will whine, they all do. The STS has a lot of piping, which can be an issue. For either, you will need an intercooler.
And you will have to mod your suspension to get the power to the ground, as stated before.
Best of luck.
