I think its purely just personal preference on your decision between EFI or Carburetion. I have had a carbed FC since 2004 and I love it. I'm not opposed to fuel injection, I just want wanted to keep it simple at the time and have had it that way since. If your just wanting to just throw a carb on it and that's it, I say do it. If you want a turbo charged set-up then I wouldn't recommend a carburetor, but that's just me offering my thoughts and not saying there is anything wrong with it because people do and have done it for years. I want to turbo charge my set-up one day just to do it, but there are some issues that need to be addressed first. Turbocharging a carbureted engine can be expensive and after all the required components are purchased and after the buying spree is over you'll look back and then you may as well have just purchased a programmable EFI kit where the tuning abilities are almost limitless.

To me it sounds like you're wanting a turbocharged rotary, if that's the case then I say stay EFI and the reasons for this is there are limitations to the carbed set-up. One big one being timing. With a distributor (I presume you'd be using) you limit yourself to whatever adjustment is necessary to not detonate during whatever boost pressure you're at.
