Performance wise there should be no difference. In terms of
features an bugs, there may well be a diference. I'm not in
the distributions-with-LVS-are-evil camp, so I'll let you decide.
You should keep in mind that by rolling your own kernel
you may loose some features that the distribution supplied
kernel has. On the other hand, by doing it yourslef you
will know exactly what is in your kernel. Its up to you.
