Of course Intel.

Well, I personally ordered a Leo-disc from the Apple store and used it for my Intel-Hackintosh. So if you are a bit familiar with OS X a retail install is the ultimate way.

Besides that, any Intel-compatible installer will work. I used iDeneb 1.3 before and this works great, too.
When you are on an Intel-System with PCEFI/Cameleon (with vanilla kernel) you can also use Apple Softwae update to update your OS. I updated my Retail 10.5.4 to 10.5.5 this way - no problems at all.
You only need to be careful with 10.5.6 - it is not released yet but it won't be easy to install, because they updated AppleRTC.kext which is likely going to cause kernel panics and a headache if you aren't careful
