.include or DEPENDS+= for Meta Packages?



I'm creating a meta package to install all the components of the ROX desktop 
and I'm wondering if I should use the "DEPENDS+=" method or the buildlink3 
method (include "../../category/pkg/buildlink3.mk") method to pull in the 
various packages for the ROX desktop.  I see meta packages in the meta-pkgs 
directory that use one or the other but it seems like which one gets used 
depends on the whim of the maintainer.

So which should I use?  I know the buildlink3 method is used in most of pkgsrc, 
but is it really appropriate for a meta package?  What are the pros and cons of 
each?
