ROS2 Binary or Source Installation ?

I need to download ROS2 (Bouncy Bolson) on Windows 10 and use the RTI as the DDS vendor. Is it ok if I install the binary or do i need to install it from Source ? What is the difference ?

Windows install binary - Install additional DDS implementations (optional) documents this.

The former lets you use precompiled artefacts, while the latter requires you to setup a build environment and compile everything yourself.
