Personally, I prefer to build from sources whenever I have a choice.
To me, this does offer more flexibility, and I like in general to
tweak around and not simply follow the instructions.  The outcome is
better more often than not.  Of course, at times this does generate
troubles as well, so I do not necessarily recommend it to anyone. ;-)
