The wiki article I linked to in the first page gives a short comparison of the debian way vs. the nvidia way. There is also a matter of support. I can not speak for the list, but on IRC the Nvidia installer is not supported. In general, if you follow documentation from an official Debian source (such as the wiki or reference manual), you will find more people willing and able to support it.
Look for support at nvnews.net. -- "History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid." Dwight Eisenhower
