If you are installing from git, then the dev mode is good. If you are
installing from a release tarball then standard is what most people
would use.
Dev mode is for people who are going to be doing updates, and rollbacks.
Standard is for the majority of people who download a release, install
it and leave it.
Probably all the people on the devel list use the dev mode.
