There is no real distinction to the way that MATE is treated when compared with Gnome or Xfce, say. Choosing any of them is likely to result in hundreds of packages being installed. Those packages need to be obtained somehow, so if one is using the netinst image they'll be downloaded no matter which desktop is chosen. If one is using a DVD, then all those packages are liable to be available on DVD #1, regardless of the desktop chosen. The only time one is going to see any significant difference is if one uses the CD images, and chooses to only use a fraction of the set, at which point one might find that Gnome is available from CD while the other desktops still need to be downloaded, but if you're wanting MATE then you will not do that. As you suggest, it is also possible to run tasksel later, on the installed system, in which case it does just provide an alternative approach to installing the same packages with one's normal package manager.
