Is there a reason to prefer one over the other?

I ask because, typically, these unammed GitHub tarballs are not actual
releases prepared by the maintainers, but just a snapshot of the Git
repo, created automatically by GitHub for each tag. PyPi tends to
contain the "real" release in cases like this.
