Supercard > R4 in every single possible way pretty much.

Supercard supports GBA games, R4 does not.
Supercards last a very long time, R4s break easily, even if you make one small mistake through an update.
Supercards have great support, with R4s you most likely can't get support because most of them are fakes.
Supercards rarely freeze, R4s start to do so a lot after a while.

and most importantly:

Supercards don't become useless after a new system/update releases, the Supercard team create updates so even your old Supercard works on your new 3DS XL, R4 doesn't even work on the DS, unless you have R4i, in which case it may not work too unless your OS version is compatible with it, and it won't work on the 3DS unless you buy an R4i Gold... etc.
