The Ubuntu Software Centre, apt-get, and Synaptic all use the same repositories, they're just different user interfaces. I install from one of those unless there's a good reason not to, because then I get updates automatically.
Calibre is one of the few programs I install separately, because it's updated so often that the repositories can't keep up

I use Unison, and it works well. I also use Dropbox and Copy.
To use Unison, you'd need somewhere to synchronise your files to, like a NAS or an external hard drive. Whether or not you should depends on what the advantages/disadvantages are for you. Did your friend say
why you should use Unison instead of Dropbox and/or Copy?
