Properly implemented, calibrated, and tuned... A supercharger will be easier to manage and more consistent at the track. In regards to street use, a normally aspirtated engine will be better (usually), but a reasonably installed supercharger set up properly will also live just fine on the street.
The only problem I have with the juice is track consistency and all the fiddling around with bottle warmers and pressures to get it to work perfectly every time while being consistent. In my experience juice has a higher risk of engine damage because many people will make a mistake in the management of it, especially if it is only used once in awhile.
Once properly set up, a supercharger can be completely reliable as long as the rest of the vehicles infrastructure is equiped to handle it.2002 Street ET Champion New England Dragway

Nitrous!

BTW You don't mix low compression and Nitrous! Read up

I don't understand why you wouldn't mix low compression and nitrous. Nitrous drops the air temp condensing the air charge, while also adding more oxygen to allow the burn of more fuel.
The added, and more condensed air charge, then raises the compression ratio. So, if you were running a 9.5:1 static compression ratio and whacked it with a 300 shot, your compression ratio would jump (I haven't done the math so this is just for example) up to lets say 11.5:1.
This would allow you to run cheap gas whenever you weren't spraying. Saving you money during the week and remaining very streetable, and still letting you have fun on the weekends.
Nitrous is a weekend racers best friend.

Nitrous is not Forced in.
Low compression ratio engines are less efficient because they can not deliver as much of the ideal combustion power to the flywheel.
Basically your not getting you bang for the buck!
