Hello,



 From your experience, is it better to set files owner and mode in the
install part, using the install command, or in the files part with
%attr?

Like Valery already pointed out, rpmbuild should never ever be executed as root, which means you simply cannot set file ownership during %install. File ownership should always be set in %files with %defattr/%attr.

Setting the file mode is up to you. Often its suffieciently taken care of with by "make install" during %install so that only eg "%defattr(root,root,-)" is needed, and if further tweaking is needed it can be done from either %install or %files via %defattr/%attr.
