I prefer the disc image with root Applications alias. It's simple and
obvious.
I found that a lot of apps allow you to install anywhere when they
actually need to be in the Applications folder; as if the developer
never considered that a user might do it otherwise.
The main reasons to do it "by the book" are permissions and OS
updates. I haven't done Snow Leopard yet but the Leopard transition
was great for me, very little setup once it was installed.
Also, if you want to update your app you know where everything is.

offering to move itself to the Applications folder if it is launched
from any other folder.

I recently installed an app that did that. I didn't like it, I had
installed
it in a different folder on purpose. Fortunately it only bugged me
once
about it on first launch.
Perhaps a neater method would be to offer to move it only if it was
being launched from the Downloads folder.
