I'm a much bigger fan of Carthage. Carthage builds your dependencies for you, but leaves it up to you to add them to your project. In that way, it doesn't touch your Xcode file or force you to make a Workspace. But once installed, it makes it very easy to choose the version of the library you want.

I have seen people add a pod (in turn adding three dependencies for it) to do something they could accomplish with a single line of code. Don’t do that.
