Do a search since there are tons of information regarding all three brands. I would also include Techo, kenne bell, and edelbrock to the list. I prefer the whipple and saleen but mainly because I have worked with them before or have been taken care by them. I would first try to decide what type of supercharger you want: Twinscrew, eaton, or Centri. By the first list you provided it sounds like you have it narrowed down to the first two types.

Just remember bigger is not always better especially with screw/roots style chargers. Heat is a serious problem with these. So get a adequate intercooler not oversized. Once you get the supercharger you will probably want to put a smaller pulley on it to get more boost but you will sacrifice alot of midrange torque and the engine will heat up faster just to gain 10hp at the most. All three brands are good, the roushcharger is most tammed.

There is no midrange sacrifice with a smaller blower pulley, in fact you will gain torque.
Also with different pulley combos you can gain over 100whp (smaller blower and larger crank pullies).

Stay away from the Roushcharger unless it is the TVS.

The TVS, Whipple, Saleen are all awesome superchargers.
