It's really up to you, and both choices are probably fine for most people. The pros of Docker are that upgrades are as simple as replacing the container, and you'll never need to worry about dependencies etc (though this is basically never a problem using the package installs either). The cons are that it'll add some additional complexity to the networking, GPU, and storage configuration, and it can complicate support and troubleshooting.
On the balance, I generally recommend that people run bare metal unless there is a very specific reason to do otherwise, but it's really a matter of personal preference. But bare metal has better community support and fewer quirks. There isn't really a disadvantage to simply using the installation script, especially for Debuntu platforms.
