I never use the VMWare Workstation, but I am using the VMWare Server, 
since I am a cheapo person.

For VMWare Server, I prefer the Bundled Installation method, since it is 
easy, just run the perl script.
For the RPM version, you need to install Alien first to convert RPM to 
DEB, so it will be another step.
