The thing is, the map should be calibrated for the amount of boost you require anyway, so once the map is set, you should never need to adjust the boost level anyway. The MAF sensor is mostly out of range, so you can't realistically rely on the MAF readings to adjust the injection quantity to suit whatever boost level you have set via a manual boost controller.
I'd suggest that electronic control is slightly better - you can run higher boost levels midrange and taper off the boost levels at high RPMs to save the turbocharger from overspeeding up there... However you'll end up with an even more inflated midrange from the engine which is exactly what these don't need!
Whilst you're at it, fit a larger, more modern turbocharger anyway.
