Exactly. It all comes down to personal preference.

The supercharger would be cheaper and less pain in the ass because everything comes in a kit and bolts on. The only thing you have to figure out is how to add fuel in boost.
The turbo would be all custom because there is no kit available. You could by a kit for a Cavalier or Cobalt, but the pipes wouldn't fit and then you'd have to spend more to have everything fabricated.
The turbo's advantage over the supercharger is more power and easier upgradeability. Plus, if you ever wanted to run more boost, all it takes is the simple turn of a knob.

Most of the the "kits" sold are a bunch of generic parts put in one box and called a kit. Nothing is a direct bolt on type of deal. The "kit" in that link doesn't even include an exhaust manifold and who knows what kind of quality that turbo is.
