Gotcha! 
I'd probably rate them almost the same way you did just for different reasons.
Only reason I say that is because the STS kit is still not "proven" to put out a ton of power that I have seen so I wouldn't put it at the top or tied with the CM kit simply for that reason alone. We all know turbos generally will be able to make not only more power but MUCH more TQ than a blower (look at all major race classes and the weight penalty imposed on turbo cars). My nod would go to the Radix for simplicity and less finicky tuning requirments.
That being said, I did order the STS kit because I feel confident it can make more than enough HP to max out my fuel system and motor so I am ok with that.

How long does it take your formula to reach full boost?
