You do not need either system, the water in The Villages is just fine. We prefer to shower in soft water as that is what we are used to, so the softener is purely a luxury item and not a necessity. Call your plumber for a quote.
For folks who want "soft" water for the shower only: There's a filter you can buy at Home Depot for $20.00 that attaches to your shower head. I believe the brand is Sprite. They have the replacement filters as well. Works great. We can really tell the difference with this inexpensive filter.
