Personally, I do the latter. But, I also create production, and development images for myself. The production images I save, are exactly as I downloaded them, pus all the tweaks I made to them prior to setting it up as a development image.
Do also keep in mind that if you do any compiling of native code( C / C++ sources, etc ) on a NFS share. In this case it'll be noticeably slower than from sdcard. However, there is a cure for that too. Don't compile on the NFS share, or the sdcard. Create a tmpfs ramdisk, mount that in your home directory, and do all your compiling there ;) Of course, you can not compile HUGE projects, but you should be able to get away with creating a 256M ram disk( I do ).
