I don't have any experience with ffmpeg installed from packages, but ffmpeg will support any open source codec.
unfortunately, many "open source" codecs (like mpeg2, mp3, etc) are not compatible with the GPL, and distributions are forced to leave them out of their versions of ffmpeg.
Transcode may run slower (I haven't actually done real comparisons), but it will support DivX and XviD.
Transcode isn't always slower -- with noise reduction enabled, they're both about the same speed (ffmpeg's internal noise reduction is faster, but doesn't actually seem to DO anything, so nuvexport uses yuvdenoise, which is remarkably slow).
transcode may support divx, but I haven't been able to get it to work with any standard rpm, so I haven't been able to make an exporter for nuvexport. Works great with xvid, though (although I've been having trouble with transcode in general lately, which is why ffmpeg is the default).
