If for any reason you don't want to use Softaculous and you are looking for an alternative, consider Installatron(rather than Fantastico).

I personally think all script installers promote hacked websites, users will still forget to upgrade their installations along with plugins and their themes. I see hacked accounts on a daily basis, not just a few, many, and 99.9% of the time, it is due to outdated web software, that .1% is compromised passwords. Its a shame how often it is.
If I had to pick, Softaculous would be my pick. But I think it would be better to advocate that learning to do the installations manually and making sure they were secured with correct permissions and regularly updated along with plugins and themes would be a better route, but for the in-experienced users, this will be a losing battle, which in turn, does make these automatic script installers good to have for shared hosting. But I still think they promote poor webmaster habits.

Some of the larger webhosts use Fantastico. Softaculous has become popular in the last few years, but upgrades are more time consuming.

Most of the clients are used to fantastico, however in my opinion softaculous is better and more scripts.

That may be true, but if you're updating your WordPress installs via Fantastico/Softaculous you're going about it the wrong way. Best to update WordPress from within WordPress.
Of course, Fantastico doesn't allow mass update either from what I remember!
What do people think of Installatron?
