My vote is for git. No middleman (with someone pushing an updated
package) = less things that can potentially go wrong. I've taken to
this for LaTeX as well vs. Arch Linux's distribution. Just my vote,
though! Updating takes < 5min, and 95% of that is just waiting for git
to clone, probably because I primarily use Org at work and can't clone
over git protocol behind my firewall. http is slower.
