i prefer wget , rpm, srpm, tar;./configure;make;make install ;-)
but my vote would go to yum
simple reasons,
- it is in fedora
- i can copy&paste the url in the yum.conf [serverid] name= baseurl=
or in the rhn/sources
### an yum style repo
### format:
### type channel-label url
vs.
### an apt style repo
### format is:
### type channel-label service:server path repo name
