Your choice. Either will do the job. Just make sure that wherever you
are going to get your updates from has the type of repository you need.

There is work being done so that In the future the repos are the same but
today that is not true.

AFAIK Red Hat is only supporting yum on their sites. That may have changed and
I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong. I think most of the repo sites
have both.

HTH,
