with my Debian hat on: the choice should always be to use the Debian
repositories, whenever possible.
(sometimes this may not be possible, as not all (although most known)
Pd-libraries are packaged; or when you need a release of a given library
that is newer than Debian/stable).

there is also the "pd-deken-apt" (Debian) package, which allows you to
install the Debian packaged libraries from within Pd (using the deken
plugin)
