Option vs. flavor?

One port is small by itself, but it semi-optionally requires 4.5GB of
static data installed.
It is possible to download this data optionally, conditional on the port
option DATA_FILES which will be "off" by default, so that the users who
need the data will install it with DATA_FILES=on.
Alternatively, it is possible to create a flavor, something like @withData.
Should the option be preferred, or should the flavor be preferred?
Thanks,
Yuri
