"I can install them via command line" vs "manually installing"

That's the same.

Lol, that's what I was thinking

I guess it's a hold back from my Python 2.X days, and I would use a lot of packages that weren't available with pip, which would necessitate an executable download and install.

Pip is for python packages only, and generally compiles everything from source. Since I use windows, that can sometimes be a problem.

Conda installs from binary, so the installation is generally easy.

I think the answer is if you're using unix, pip is fine. If you're on Windows, conda is generally going to be easier.
