[Zope] Linux/Redhat advice : RPMs vs Src for Zope development ?

my view:
rpms provide better management.  you can install and uninstall with ease.  and
i think most rpms come with all/most parameters compiled in. 

but src gives you the speed me think(correct me if i'm wrong) since it's
optimized for *your* machine..
but in real life, i went with postgres rpm, python rpm, and zope src.  i
current;y have no hands on oracle or mysql yet.

so, i think a mix of both is in order.
