Look around the forum for differences between a Roots type and a Screw type supercharger. It's had some pretty in depth comparisons on here, and some fairly recent.

The stock eaton on the lightnings/harley trucks is a eaton roots type, and I think stock it only produces 4 psi on the harley truck (I'm not positive on that one).

The Kenne Bell is a twin screw type compressor. Much higher adiabatic effeciency, albiet more expensive. If you were to ask an opinion of just me, I would say take the Kenne Bell.

What PyroBob said.

The KB will offer a greater efficiency, and higher boost pressure, but its purchase price won't be as cheap.
