I've always installed from source and I've never been sorry. Haven't
tried it on Leopard yet though. There's no reason to believe that the
various binary installers should be worse than a source install, but
since I've never tried them I really can't tell.

Compiling from source is a good way to get to know both your OS and
Postgres better.
