Used to be the same. Given the choice I would prefer an app from the AppStore. I know that I can click and use it across my macs. I don't have to try and figure out what the licensing terms are. I did feel a little guilty that the dev was losing 30% but I did it anyway. Now. With many apps I use shifting out of the App Store, it's a liability and I think twice before buying on the AppStore if I think I may be stuck on an older version after the developers shift to direct purchase.
