Imo, 2JZ swap then compound charging with twin-turbos and a low boost supercharger. Then a 400 shot of Nos to really get that RX-8 moving. Why pick between supercharger/turbo/nitrous... use them all!

I think this is where someone needs to post the 2JZ swap pic again (my favorite pic on here).

I've heard that S.E.Arch has results for both forms of FI. You should be able to figure out which is best for you from what they provide.
