Advantage: You (and all other users) can start lilypond directly from

Advantage: You can install several different versions of LilyPond.

I use this second method: I’ve installed five different versions and 
make all of them known to Frescobaldi; Frescobaldi will then choose the 
used version according to the \version statement.
