Up to about a year ago, I did everything from source. This was

I didn't have a very good handle on RPM at the time, so I'd download the
source and recompile. This worked OK for a while, but when I had to
support several instances on production servers, this began to become a
tedious job.
FWIW
one could compile from source and use rpms by building binary rpms from
s[ource]rpms. That should give you 'better' performance without as much
headache. You'd still need to solve dependencies, as yum doesn't handle
srpms, though.
Personally, I've never done anything but yum [up2date,apt] install php
and never had an issue worth mentioning.
