I usually go Flatpak > system package (rpm) > AppImage > direct download. But it also depends on what I need.
- Flatpak usually gives the latest version and is nicely integrated with everything.
- System packages are usually outdated but use less disk space.
- I only use AppImages if that's the only way I can get the version I need. I also have it integrated with appimaged.
- Directly downloading a tar.gz or similar I try to avoid as much as possible because it isn't integrated with anything.
