I have run both a QuickD (now Fastman) and a Flometrics 48mm and I felt the difference between the two with Flometrics being the winner. If you're not running a supercharger or the like, stick with the 48mm. 50mm would be too much.
You can find the available selection on www.speedtweaks.net

If you run a 50mm TB without a supercharger expect to lose some power. If I remember correctly it will be in the bottom end and will bog a little off the line (someone please correct me if I'm wrong).
If you run a 48mm with a supercharger, it will be sufficient, but not ideal. The 48mm will choke the airflow a little and you won't see the full potential of the sc.
I don't know when you plan on getting the sc, but you could always pick up a 48mm for the time being and when you get the sc you could sell the the 48mm and get a 50mm.
Another option you have depending on when the sc goes on is to pick up a used v8 TB. The v8 TB will give a performance increase slightly less than the 48mm, but for considerably less (you should be able to find one in the $100 range). If you go with the v8 TB, be sure to pick up a new cable at Speedtweaks.

Well, mostly from Jeg's , but there are a few other locations.
Rather than list all of them here, you can see the list of what I used, part numbers and where I got them at my site. Just click on Mods in the menu and then Aftermarket P/N's.
The engine dress-up is at the bottom of the page with exception of the Cool Flex radiator hoses which can be found under performance (they actually lowered the operating temp).
Also, I used some things from a stainless hose kit that I bought at Autozone. For some reason I don't have it listed on that page.
