Carbureted would have the n/a advantage simply because of how carburetors work, provided it was tuned properly(which most carburetors aren't). Blower, carb still has it's advantages but is much more difficult to tune, EFI and a blower is nice because the control over tuning and knock sensors can push the setup farther more safely.

Yeah, carbs are hard to beat for their cost.
