While I agree OEM systems are more finely developed, aftermarket systems can be made to run extremely well and offer much better adaptabilty for the end user. This is particularly true in the case of an engine swap or when the engine is altered.
In this case I would certainly use the MS rather...
During the latter years fo the Formula 1 turbo era, when the rules introduced fuel quantity restrictions, Honda started to heat the fuel to achieve better BSFC. It was one of their main advantages.

Which talks about the problem of low carb signal and the various types of boosters availble to help. Might be worth a read
Assuming the engine internals haven't been changed, then the only thing requiring more fuel would be the weight of the turbocharger system.
As the others said, negligible
As Fader said, the sensor to run is the NTK UEGO sensor, but the cheaper versions of these are still prone to failure with leaded fuel. The lab grade versions are better in this respect. If you can avoid starting the engine cold on leaded fuel, you can greatly extend the life of the sensor. My...
