Changin MX machine to it's own, recommendations please...

As for the apt or source - depends on how often you want to update....the
apt's can be a little behind a the monthly source updates..if you're happy
with apt for everything - esp moving to unstable then it's prob to stick
with that.

For the machine itself - make sure you've got at least 1GB per CPU (that
includes HT as two CPUs etc).
