I had the PPA setup, but I removed it.  I prefer to decide which version 
of LO it have installed.  PPAs, like Repositories, seems to make me feel 
that I am not in control of which version I use. I kept getting the 
message that I need to update/upgrade to a different version with the 
PPAs and Repositories seem to, most of the time, remove the version I am 
using and install an earlier one.

Now that I am not upgrading my desktop from Linux Mint 16 to 17, due to 
a dependency issue that causes two printers not to produce the proper 
coloring when printing photos and image, I am not getting an updates 
anymore.  So I do not have that problem.

For now, I would rather install the exact version of LO via the terminal 
than use a PPA.  That is just my opinion.  For many, it is more 
convenient for the PPAs to do the work for them.  So, when I decide to 
go from 4.2.5 to 4.3.x, I will install it myself.  I have not tested 
4.3.0.x on any system.  I prefer to test it out on a system that is not 
my "production" and default one till the version is tested on a Win7 
and/or Ubuntu-based boot of my laptop.
