The turbo makes boost based on load, and the supercharger on rpm. Same effect as an auto when you shift. I've never heard a silent turbo before, all the one's I've heard are pretty loud, including my old Turbo Thunderbird. If I was going for max power, I'd go with the turbo as well. Besides, the supercharger is going to put additional load on your front main bearing and accessories with a lot of boost.
That is because the turbos you have heard were tiny. Small turbos will spool at idle. My T-76 barely turns at idle and around town because the impeller shaft is alot bigger and stronger. My car sounds like a stock GT. A few people at the light have made that mistake
