Types of superchargers

I am about to have one this summer I will most likely choose one of the three: Stillen, HKS, GTM. I want the new traction drive Centrifugal supercharger. I have a feeling this is the route Stillen will be choosing. The twin screw is a no go from everything I have read.

a twin-screw is a great unit with higher a/e and v/e then most centrifugals but the damn vvel screwed it up. Would require an extra throttle body be mounted in the car. Centrfugal would be cheap and easy on our cars but i hate the way they provide boost. A good whipple or kenne bell twin screw would have done it for me seeing as they have a unit sized for 500-850hp.

I am not looking for gigantic gains my car is already fast. I would be happy with 100 rwhp boost with potential for 150 rwhp. i am most concerened with the unit delivering boost safely, reliably and not nickel and diming me constantly. I am thinking the centrifugal units are going to fit best with the least amount of modification. They may not be the most efficient and optimal performing units but thier better than nothing at all.
