A mixture of both. The bulk of software here is installed from .deb
packages, using $preferredpackagemanager. There are half a dozen or so
programs that I prefer to compile myself because the .debs are a bit
too far out of date, or use compile-time options that don't suit my
needs, or even that I need to patch myself.

You'll give yourself a big headache; Doing system upgrades purely from
source is time-consuming, to say the least.
