For production server? Use official package from Red Hat.
Of course Spacewalk version is latest greatest and über cool, but may 
also contains some bugs.
Packages in RHEL got all important bugs backported. And even most 
features. And it is supported.
If you pay for RHEL, get what you are paying for. Seriously.

But on your developers station you can use Spacewalk version, just to 
see what will land in RHEL soon.
