A snap will give you a couple of nice qualities:

 * you can bundle the libraries you need in the snap
 * you can update on your own schedule (and updates automatically propagate)
 * you can reach a range of Linux desktops with a single package

I know others are working on snaps using Qt 5.7 so you will have others
to share bugs :)
