Use in built in migrations since it can produce change scripts in python or
sql. There will be difference in migration scripts produced by django and
manual one.

For example: On adding a new column django migration will ask for default
value in mysql also, though alter column in mysql assumes null by
default(MySQL quirk).
It is better to use a tool to generate migrations.
