YOUR preference may not be the same as the ones deploying. For example, if I was to deploy, I'd prefer if all components where from a single distribution vendor, even if the image gets bigger at the end. It is easier to address security vulnerabilities this way (ie: you only need to watch for a single vendor updates).
