Drive both of them (any n/a 5.4 will do). That should make your decision pretty easy.

I would go with the Saleen. Already semi customized and can always add the supercharger later

I think the 04-08 generation of the f150 has a "timeless" look that doesn't get that "looks good now but I'm sick of looking at it look". The new f150 is a great looking truck but the headlight and grill combo are best suited on the raptor then on the standard truck IMHO...They remind me of the styling on 88 - 91 ford f150/bronco. Which were hideous.... wish we had an eco-boost option for the 04-08, that's the only reason I would switch for my deciding factor...otherwise I'd get the saleen, they are great looking trucks.
