    Whats the best way to install wordpress using Fantastico with Cpanel
    or doing a manual install.

    You get the same result using either. I prefer Fantastico, because it is much quicker, though.

    I installed Wordpress 2.5 manually on a new blog. What I'm concerned
    about is wordpress updates that will be coming out.

    Do think it's better to install using Fantastico or install a plugin for this.

    I prefer Fantastico, since it's quicker and less of a chance of things screwing up.

    As for updates, you'll have to update the software yourself either way. You can't upgrade via Fantastico.

    2.5 is auto-upgrading, isn't it?

    I don't really think it matters which one you have since the only time you really need to deal with the control panel is during the original installation (and it is fairly easy with both dashboards.) After the original installation you can just use an ftp account to upload the new upgrade files.
