If you have the knowledge and want to control exactly what goes where then install manually. If you just want something up and running then used the installer. Or there is a middle route of using the installer and then customising.

Ultimately it's the same stuff and you could end up with an identical result through either route. However a manual install would be tailored to your particular requirements.
