Keep in mind, gernby is making a few ponies above a stock S2000 also, and his top-end is well tuned compared to a stock S2000, as the stocker runs really rich above 8300 RPM which decreases the available power up there.
Just out of curiosity, is 8300 RPM approximately 130mph in 6th w/ the 4.77s?

Assuming you mean that you want to pull as hard to top speed, my vote would go for SC, if you're going for cost-effective.
It's cheaper than a decent turbo kit.
It's pretty much plug-n-play.
It's less "risky" than nitrous, and probably easier to tune... but I'm not certain about that. It doesn't require bottle re-fills either.
If you want to pull strong from highway speeds in 6th gear, I'd say turbo, because it will give you more mid-range torque than the SC kits.
