I've used source in the past for programs that don't have an rpm available so I've gotten used to the issues that come along with installing by source.
That's the best thing about Linux - I run it or configure it the way I want to.
If there is a rpm available for the version I want to run then yes I use that. Suppose I could learn how to create rpm's for those versions that are missing - will do if/when the time comes and it's needed.
You should use checkinstall instead of make install when installing from source. That way you'll create an rpm-file yourself.
