What is the preferred tool to use to download/install mods- MO or Wrye Bash?

I'm not sure if I should be using Wrye Bash or Mod Organizer to download and install mods. The guide to Wrye Bash mentions using it (installing to the Bash Installers folder), but using Mod Organizer results in the mods going to the Mods folder in that folder.

 

Also, I'm on Step 2B in the STEP guide (Utilities) and I am unsure if I am supposed to be running/using utilities such as Skyrim Performance Monior and Wrye Bash, or if I should just be installing them and using them when it is appropriate to do so (and I hope the STEP guide tells me when that is.)

 

Thanks.

I think I'm the last Wrye/BAIN evangelist, and I just converted to MO. You can still access all the Wrye functions, except BAIN, and MO adds a lot of very useful functionality. Install Wrye, but use MO to download/install mods, you can launch Wrye from within MO.
