so you have to depend on the user using a new version or using the built-in expanding. In my experience, a .dmg is the way to go; it also provides for a more intuitive experience (you can include a message like "To install, drag this to your Applications folder" or whatever).

Well, I personally don't care much for disk images anymore. It feels kind of un-intuitive to me to download a file and get a new disk on your desktop. But yeah, if you need to 10.0 or 10.1, and you include resource forks, or you somehow need the additional design gizmos you can do in a DMG, use that.
My mother is confused every time she downloads something, it automounts, and then she is supposed to eject it. The DMG is ubiquitous, though, and at least can answer the question "Now what?" from a first time user, even if the post-install situations leaves a lot to be desired.

How about "Internet-enabling" the image?

sh % man hdiutil
