Here's why you should use your distro's versions: Along about next Thursday some vulnerability is discovered in Apache. Apache revs the product to 2.0.56. You have to download the new version, recompile it, and also re-compile any custom modules (like mod_jk).
If you use the distro release, they patch the current version, and you just let online_update install it and re-start it. The distribution version is best unless your needs are just so custom, that the standard version won't work. This is not the case you are in.
