OT: is macports the best package manager for a developer? Considering buying my first Mac. (Macbook Pro 13 is perfect hardware for me)

Homebrew is the current choice for most of us, I've found it much more stable than MacPorts.

pkgsrc also works, supposedly. I'm currently using Macports on 10.6, but wondering whether I should stay on macports (known quantity, huge number of ports), switch to homebrew (hype, easy to write & push new packages, lower number of ports) or switch to pkgsrc/pkgin (cross-platform, good number of ports, but very low popularity & likely support)
