SOS with 1200 blower or the new Kraftwerks kit. Both can make some nice power!
Still waiting on kraftwerks to release pulley upgraded though. Said they would end of February but we will see.
As for reliability sc kits with a good custom tune and fuel upgraded are insanely reliable. 4-5 years I've been boosted at 406whp with a vortech v2 kit. 60k miles with zero issues
Only done regular maintenance to that car.
If you decide to go kraftwerks route let me know as I carry those and have them on sale.
They should give a little beefier midrange power. 1 person dynod at 417whp with the stock kit however I'd imagine it was a little high reading dyno but hopefully some others will start posting up dyno graphs.

As mentioned your going to get a different torque/hp delta between the SOS vs Kraftworks vs HKS.
People get so hung up on peak power/TQ but i'd rather have 50 ft/lbs 2000 rpm earlier than high peak numbers. Something to consider

I had my vortech sound just like it after 6 months later,i freaked out,take out the blower sent for rebuild,but after he opened up,nothing happened, so i upgrade the bearings since it's opened lol.
So i had that sound on for almost 2 years now.

In my opinion the Kraftwerks kit is one of the best kits on the market. We've installed the old version and will soon be installing the newer version, which has an even better design, makes more power, and uses a larger supercharger and intercooler.
We have these on sale as well if you need one.

OP, out of the two you've chosen I would pick the Kraftwerks kit. Honestly though, the Paxton blowers (Vortech, Comptech, SOS) have proven to be so reliable with so much info and experience on this site I don't know why you wouldn't go this route.
