Well, it's up to you to see.
What I sent you as a base for Ubuntu Wanted is a small MVC base code
that I used in Brainstorm at the time I had *no* experience with
Drupal. Going this way basically ignore a majority of the Drupal
services, so you develop more slowly, BUT you don't loose time to
learn the Drupal way to code, which can take some times (months...).
On the other hand, once you know well Drupal and how to develop
modules for it, your productivity will be much better with its
framework.

At that time I chose the first way, since my free time was limited.
And I would do it again. But now I would rather use the second way
since I know more about Drupal.

Your choice.

Cheers,
Nicolas
