My personal preference is to use the macros where they are available, and
fully-qualified pathnames otherwise, for all commands used in the build process.

My preference is:
Source0: http://dl.sf.net/qjackctl/qjackctl-%{version}.tar.gz

Reasons:
* dl.sf.net is a shorter URL :-)
* using the package name explicitly rather than just %{name} is a little more
readable, and the package name is hardly likely to change very often
* the version number is likely to change, so using the %{version} macro helps
maintainability of the package
* whilst the use of the %{version} macro prevents wget from working directly,
you can use spectool from the fedora-rpmdevtools package to retrieve the source
for you - it will automatically expand the macro
