they basically do the same thing... force air into your engine, but a super charger is belt driven, and so boost is instantaneous, well theres a little lag with centrifugal, turbos run off the exhaust and dont make boost till 2500-3500 rpms typically.. as far as whats better for your car i can only give you an opinionated answer... i would go with the holley powercharger (roots style supercharger) that works with the tbi systems, its listed in jegs as being for 86-95 trucks, but i believe it will work on camaro tbi systems aswell, unless your wanting to build a high HP motor/race motor then i'd go turbo, not to say that turbos make more power though...
