We have a number of deployments using the FPBX 'Device and User' mode in 
a similar manner to that the OP requested, and they seem to work fairly 
well.

Personally, I'd go down this route, especially if you're already 
familiar with Linux (which I'm guessing you are if you're used to 
working with bare Asterisk). This way you can choose the distro you like 
best rather than having to adapt to whatever the all-in-one maintainer 
has chosen to use.

It also opens up options if you find you need to run other packages on 
the same server at any point.

Kind regards,

Chris
