GNU ELPA is preferred because updating the package is much easier. This
is important when you have lot of packages you want to keep up-to-date.
It is also easier to get notified about updates, but that's not specific
to Guix.

Usually, GNU ELPA catches up releases quickly, but it seems more
complicated in this case. So, I think it is reasonable to update this
package using GitHub source and switch back to ELPA when the situation
is sorted out.
