Well first you need to decide which company you prefer and then you can decide which head unit from there.

The three main centrifugal s/c manufactures are Paxton, Vortech, Procharger

A good ol fashion V-1 or V-2 S trim is probably the easiest/cheapest to find. Just make sure you get a RR (reverse rotation head unit).

Some people steer away from the Vortechs (other than the V-3) because they are oiled by engine oil and you have to tap your oil pan for the return line. Personally I didn't find this to be a big deal.

Prochargers use a self contained oiling system. Which is nice if you blow the engine because you don't run the risk of having metal shaves from the engine oil go through the supercharger. But it also adds the extra hassle and cost of changing the supercharger oil.

The difference depends on your power level goals. The SQ stands for "super quiet" which is a joke... because it's not very quiet.

The S trim is the base model and the T trim is the next step up. None of this will matter at your current power level because of the limitations of your short block. It will only matter if you planning on stuffing 20lbs of boost into this thing down the road.

with that blower you could easily be in the 400rwhp range. Which is all you really want for the stock short block. The limitations of your short block will kick in before the limitations of the S-trim blower.
