The recommend ways of distributing applications on OS X, in the
preferred order, are:
1. App Store
2. DMG containing an application bundle
3. Native installer
4. Other ways
Building an application that acts like an installer would fall under
number 4, that last preferred way.
If you can't/don't want to go with the App Store then why not the second
option?
