So basically you're thinking that the H3 mostly needs help on the highway instead of offroad. In that case, the turbo would be more appropriate for you, especially considering the s/c's parasitic drag.

I like the instant torque of a s/c better than the delay and whine of a turbo. The latest generation has a lot less drag than earlier models too.
