From what I could find out, obtainium takes the releases from the github page, while **the official fdroid repository** adds a layer of security, by taking the code and build it from source, after some days. This protects us from something like nekogram to happen, or also attacks to the dev's credentials and keys.

I'd personally prefer to always use this layer of security, for convenience I'd prefer to use other repos on the same client, I'd choose accrescet when possible still for security, and wouldn't use the github release if possible. I also prefer the fdroid ui and ux, I discovered many useful projects with proper descriptions

If you use obtainium for everything, why do you do that?
