For stuff that is available in the App Store, I prefer to get it there, even if it's more expensive than buying it directly from the vendor. It means that when I set up a new system I can go to my purchases tab and quickly re-install the 20-30 apps I have paid for that I only use every 1-2 months and they'll be ready the moment I need them, without having to dig through my email for license keys and download links
