I can choose only one method and this isn't realistic. I'm choosing the package management according to the context. So I don't compile FreeBSD/ports at my laptop, but I do so at the desktop/workstation. Last not least I'm using Slackware for a multimedia device and I'm happy to live without any dependency :-) Furthermore compiling from source is in certain server environments more or less a no-go. I wouldn't use RPM anymore and package formats like pbi or zero install are nonsense in _my_ opinion.
