Though the generic packages may work, they will not be as polished nor as integrated with your OS as the packages built by SUSE. If you are worried that a bug fix may not make it into your package fast enough (no guarantees with the generic packages either), get the SUSE packages from the build service repositories. You get the polish and integration, and be on the bleeding edge, where fixes sometimes cause breakages in other areas, and you can contribute to make them better by testing and filing bug reports. HTH.
