Yum is far more reliable for working through the install issues. The installer will sometimes fail and give vague or no error messages. Yum is just plain better.

The disadvantages? The installer will ask you what packages you want whereas doing "yum install psa" only gives you the base packages. It's not a huge issue as you can use the panel to install anything you lack later on.

Unfortunately the Parallels Plesk Panel Updater was not enabled in the control panel when Plesk was installed via "YUM Install PSA" which is why I ended up using the installer provided by Plesk.
