I think it´s good to distribute a key thru several channels,
keys.openpgp.org is a good way to establish some trust in a key when
fetching it for the first time. Afterwards you can still get the same
key from a different source with WoT signatures added.

If you have no fountain at all for a key to establish a chain(web) of
trust, keys.openpgp.org is the only way to have some trust in a key. The
WoT works only if you have some fountain for the trust.
