I don't use either. I build my stuff manually, and that way I also contribute upstream if there is a problem with some software not building on Mac OS X out of the box.
Macports was perhaps necessary a while back, when most people didn't realize Mac OS X was just another BSD based UNIX. Now that the word is out, most software builds without a hitch.
And honestly if you can't download a source tar archive and compile it yourself with your own customizations, then don't call yourself a hacker.
