One of the reasons you would want to upgrade your G5 to Nougat via TWRP flashable zip files is to retain root access and TWRP. Usually, once you update to Nougat using the KDZ file, you may not be able to unlock the bootloader, install a TWRP or flash a SuperSU package because the Nougat firmware is new and the development has not started yet. So you may not be able to do any modifications later.
