I'm not sure this is a good question. I get the impression the answers would be opinionated, more than absolute. – Trevoke Sep 10 '14 at 19:42

I agree with @Trevoke. Unless the question is VERY specific regarding the use-case and context, it is subjective and has no definitive answer. – Malabarba Sep 11 '14 at 13:47
It could be reformulated as, "What are the advantages and disadvantages of building org-mode from source, getting it from elpa, melpa, ...?" – Erik P. Sep 11 '14 at 13:57
There are a lot of questions out there ultimately related to problems of maint vs. Master vs. Bundled. So reformulating lile Erik P. Suggests the question and providing fitting answers would provide a linkable resource in such cases. – Tom Regner Sep 11 '14 at 15:52
The current iteration I find more plausible. Though it might require rather large answers, at least they'd be objective. – Malabarba Sep 11 '14 at 20:44
