When looking into where to purchase SH5 I noticed that I can get a retail DVD copy off of eBay at a pretty good price vs purchasing through Steam.

If I purchase the retail version should I install it through my Steam account or just keep it as a stand alone install? I was thinking it might be easier just to download it from Steam and then use the retail DVD key to activate the Steam version. This way I dont have to worry about downloading separate patches.
