I've had terrible problems with one-click installations!  A few months  
ago I used Fantastico to install a forum for testing, then uninstalled  
it via the Fantastico interface.  It deleted the wrong database,  
erasing an established forum with years of posts on it.  Ay yi yi.

Upgrades can be a real pain, too.  Just be very careful if you use it  
and make sure you immediately update to the most current version. I've  
found that most of the time, my host's Fantastico has old software on  
it.

If it were me, I'd do it manually, or at most use one-click for  
initial install and do updates and tweaks manually.
