Unmanaged: if you don't know anything about server admin then you may be able to stumble your way through things with cpanel or similar, but what happens if something goes wrong?
(I have no bias either way, just pointing out that if the shit hits the fan you may have trouble getting help to fix it at an unmanaged host.)

With unmanaged hosting, you are also responsible for keeping your server's LAMP services updated and patched.
Unless you are familiar with unix/linux server maintenance, you are much better off paying the extra few bucks for a fully managed host.
