Advantage in using MAMP is that it makes it easy for those that don't want to mess in the terminal with settings and downloading packages. 

Plus it comes with a nice interface for accessing phpMyAdmin, sqlite and php.ini info.

So for those starting like the original poster, that would be something I would recommend over using macosx preinstalled software, but all boils down to personal preference.

Hope with the info everyone has provided helps you out.
