When Jenkins installs it automatically, it allows you to manage multiple versions of the same tool, and you can control which installer is used by the labels assigned to the slave. That seems easier, more capable, and more reliable (to me) than writing your own scripts to install and manage tools needed by your build. I could see choosing not to have Jenkins manage a tool if it is provided by the operating system (git, for example, is a common part of many Linux operating systems). In that case, you might use the operating system package management system to install the tool rather than having Jenkins install it for you.
