Font-awesome is the original, well-known, suite of pictographic icons.
Component-Font-Awesome is a shim repository (i.e. an adapted copy) of Font Awesome for the Component project.
The goal of the Component project is to have a single shim repository for common projects such as Font Awesome supporting multiple package manager such as npm, Bower, Jam, ...
To answer your question: Which of those should be preferred? I would say that if the original repository fulfil your needs, use it, otherwise try the shim repository.
