>From my limited experience... while it is possible to install a plugin on Node.JS via D&D, and it seems to work properly, the plugin will only be available on the wiki it has been installed on. If you choose the more cumbersome way, as recommended for Node.JS, the plugin will be available on every wiki that is served from this Node.JS TW server. So, while the D&D installation will be fully sufficient, if the wiki concerned is the only one you intend to run, the Node.JS installation looks like the more sustainable method.
On a side note: it is possible to manually convert a plugin that is only available for D&D to a server-suitable version. At least, if it's a wikitext-only plugin. I have successfully done this for A.
