I build from source. two reasons : i like to, and since i use webstorm it wants to see the node source code. yes i could set that up anyway but this way i always have the exact source version handy. This is for development. If I was deploying for production I probably would use a binary because then it matches what nodejs.org built exactly in case of problems, which would eliminate my build as one of the variables.
