If you have to choose between using an App Image, from the developpers official site or an AUR package (or apt e.g), what do you choose?

AppImage. Because it has portable config feature
Don’t all apps have that? Just throw your dotfiles on GitHub
It does not only make config can be stored but can also be used on other drives
I don’t see the use-case for this that couldn’t be handled by syncthing, rclone, github, or whatever offline storage you’re using for backups. I think I’m missing something…
Yes, you’re missing something. AppImage’s portable config feature can also make you use your config on other drive. You don’t need to symlink your config to ~/.config. you can use your config directly on your other drive
