how popular are the 225-250 Suzuki's. They seem to have some of the best fuel economy of the bunch when compared, but also seem to be slower by 1-1.5 mph when compared on top end.

fuel dilution is gas getting into the oil.
This is happening with some of the boosted PWC engines (Honda, Sea Doo and Kawasaki) and I am curious if the supercharged outboards have this same thing happening.

Larger outboards, maybe. Smaller ones? My father bought two new Evinrudes in 1957; a 7 1/2 and an 18. Fifty years later, and we're still running them and they look like new. The only maintenance was lower unit oil changes and a few spark plugs.
Like many other things, they don't build 'em like that anymore.
