Better is subjective. I prefer turbos because:

1) You can adjust the boost with a push of a few buttons
2) You can choose different turbos to give you different power curves
3) Less parasitic loss

The advantages of the S/C as I seem them (but someone that has one should chime in) are:

1) Easy installation and removal
2) Linear power increase (although you can get this with the right turbos)
3) No clearance issues below the car
4) No oil return issues
