The ones in the repos are typically tested and approved by the Linux community. Not always but mostly. The shouldn't be any real difference but I recommend that you go with the repo choice first. In your case it appears they both work so your good. If it is in the repos that means most people have been able to get it to work on their system. Just something to think about.
