Prochargers definitely have their place, but you gonna be dedicated! 
IMO
-TVS's are the best bet for DD'ing street bruisers sub 600 rwhp
-Turbo's best for combination street and Track.
-Prochargers, done right are for the Hardcore Track guys.
That's not to say you can't make any of them great for one specific purpose but generally that's how I think of each one of them individually.
I personally couldn't stand DD'ing a Procharger because of the constant noise, felt the same way about the Whipple and Maggie's but with the TVS' they aren't so bad anymore.

I've been tossing around the idea of doing a "street" truck like mine originally was, with a procharger. I'd like to try out a couple of ideas I originally had and then some new ideas with the holley efi in a street setup.
If I could have my cake and eat it too, I'd have a procharged street truck that would dominate the street truck ranks. I figure to do it like I wanted it would take about $25k not including the price of the truck and it would run much better than my old set up that I had over $40k in.

I think the upfront cost of a pro charger kit drives a lot of people away. The perceived notion is that a turbo kit can be setup for $2500-3000 which isn't true in the long run. People see the budget turbo build by guys like camaross and others and think hey he went 10s with an On3 turbo why can't I just slap one on and do the same. They fail to see the whole picture. The looking at pro chargers usually ends with the 8k complete basic kit think damn only 8lbs screw that I wanna go 10s or whatever other BS. Prochargers aren't as common I think mostly, because that first guy hasn't run out and killed it yet. First one into the nines just this month and first into the 10s wasn't all that long ago it seems like. Then again it seems like the industry isn't full of pro chargers anyways.

The initial upfront cost is prob a bad selling point for sure. It is all about the set up, that even in turbo apps, will get exp. But there are plenty of procharged cars on the racing circuit running in the 6's. Blown is the first guy to go hardcore with the set up. Even his old set up with a 10.4 was hauling *** with only the D1, that was done years ago, before the turbo scene started jumping.
