Speaking for myself, the reason I opted for the manual method is that I'm less tech savvy than most here and I'm suspicious of unknown software. With the manual method I ran every file through virustotal.com and every file came up clean. The automated method however did not come up clean on virustotal. I'm sure the automated method is just fine but I like to play it as safe as possible and the manual method was super easy anyway.
