Distutils is nice because it takes care of a lot of the crud you'd normally need to do (such as substituting #!python for platform-specific locations, generating RPMs, permissions fixes, only copying what's changed, etc). It's mainly a matter of what you get working, IMO -- end users will be installing from distribution packages, anyway, and all other users should be expected to know how do python setup.py install or make install.
