Answer by Marc for Are official packages always a better choice than PPA?

That depends on the package, the PPA, your need for security, and your tolerance for downtime while you sort out problems.

  • The official packages are less likely to create conflicts with other packages that you have to sort out.
  • The official packages are less likely to have any security problems
    than those from a PPA you know little about.
  • The official packages are more likely to be out of date, sometimes by years, lacking features and fixes.
  • The official packages may not include software you want.

There really is no answer to you question, only a judgement call you have to make.
