ros::Subscribe is the standard way to subscribe to a topic.

message_filters::Subscribe can be used when you need to sync two or more topics. For example an RGB and a Depth image from a Kinect like camera. You can use ApproxSync or ExactSync depending on your specific application.

Hello,

did you read the entries to the specific documentation for both (http://wiki.ros.org/message_filters and http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Tutorials/Wri...). I mean for my understanding you can use both and it's fine.
