If you ask in #debian on irc.debian.org, you'll be told that the
installer from NVIDIA is deprecated because it overwrites files and may
cause trouble. I used it for many years and never had problems with
it. When you use it, you need to watch out for X related updates, and
I'd recommend to re-install the driver when such updates are performed.
