Today I think it will pretty even. Packaging will be a larger factor or simply "how easy is it going to be to make it fit under the hood. Modern centrifugal superchargers allow for external intercoolers.

A self contained centrifigul will require an oil change, most do it when they change the cars oil. It's not hard at all, and very inexpensive.
