Is there any advantage in using one over the other? Should I use the vendor provided PKG file or use the Darwin Ports version? Is there a general rule of thumb for deciding how to install a package?

I would use the vendor provided package just because of support. I have found that when I have issues with darwinports it is much harder to find support than with PKG based installs.
