There has been so much discussed about this very question for as long as the S2000 has existed. Everyone has their opinion and there simply are too many to list here. You should try a search using those words and see what has been said (in addition to what will be posted here).

For daily driver, SC is less maintenance and more emissions friendly.

Actually, why aren't there solutions that combine both? Boost the exhaust with a turbo, and compress the intake with a blower. Or is there some fundamental reason why this is not feasible?

you don't boost the exhaust with a turbo...it is the intake/manifold/cyliders that are getting + pressure
