I don't have to worry about my bottle getting low.

I would go with the ECS before I went with Nitrous.

Everyone has their own opinion on stuff but I have really liked having nitrous on my car. When you drive around from day to day you just leave it turned off. When you arm the system and hit it you get a lot of horsepower when you want it. I have been using a dry nitrous system with lingenfelter controller. It gives a ton of options on when it comes on and how fast it hits. You need enough fuel injector to back up this system. And I have a hand loader with a separate tune I run for just nitrous applications. But then it is nice to drive around with the extra power all the time and not fill any bottles. I actually have always used nitrous in addition to a supercharger or turbos but I could see adding it as a stand alone power adder. Dollar for dollar it is hard to argue with the power gains of a nitrous system.

One is half the price of the other...
The other will pay for itself over time....sooner than later if you're that guy who plays on the street daily.  Enjoy either way and let us know if you have any questions about either as we speak both languages very well. Ivan @ Southwest Speed

Boost over nitrous for sure. Ran direct port in the past and while the cost upfront is cheaper it gets expensive I you do it right not adding the cost of constantly filling the bottles. Not only that but the way it feels on nitrous you want all the time and it's just not possible.
