SnowOSX vs Retail Snow Leopard

[LaFemme69]

wondering if anyone can help me decide.

are there any advantages or disadvantages in installing either SnowOSX (like iAtkios, Ideneb, Kalyway....) or Retail Snow Leopard (with a USB thumb drive and a pre-existing working Leopard OS)? for e.g. do both ways allow updates without issues? does one method has better driver (kexts) supports for hardwares than the other? is one method more stable than the other? is one method much simpler than the other?.......etc!

Please get back to me because I am very interested to find out before I decide.

thank you.
