Switching away from Package Maker is fine as long as you maintain the .pkg/.mpkg format.
OS X  have a couple of nice way to deploy .pkg on many machines (command line tools like installer, Remote Desktop integration, etc.) that are not possible with custom installer.

And you are not the only one that want something better than PackageMaker to build package:
