Magickwand is by the same third party bringing you the binary. The only requirement to install the php extension is a recent version of imagemagick. My preference is the executable exactly because of that.
Most people do not have access to their own servers. I believe that more people have access to the imagemagick binaries than have access to the php extension, and while I might be able to easily install the extension on my unix machines, most people can't. The other interesting question is which versions of ImageMagick to support. I know they drastically changed their parameters in the last few (major) releases. -- Adrian Rossouw Drupal developer and Bryght Guy http://drupal.org | http://bryght.com
