Personally I always download the source.
1) I prefer to put it where I please. This will be especially true for you if your running multiple blogs and want to share the code as I do. 2) Updates sometimes require special handling. You don't want to drop an new version in automatically and have it require database updates that need to be done manually or via a script or control panel. 3) some updates of wordpress are not as stable as some would think.

Hello, I'm looking for opinions here. Do people generally use wordpress via an rpm package, 2.8.3 which always informs me to upgrade, or via a source install? I'm looking to get it going for multiple domains, each having a separate blog. Thanks. Dave.
