As another Linux geek, let me assure you that your best bet is using 
your distro's repositories whenever possible.  Everything's been 
customized to go in the right places for your system and you won't find 
yourself in dependency hell.  I'd like to wish you the best of luck, 
both with Linux in general and in finding and installing all the apps 
you need.
