They adviced me to use Debian-packages and/or use Wheezy-Backports for more recent packages. I thought about if I have any (dis-/)advantages when using Debian Wheezy Backports for obtaining the samba4 packages in future. Are there any pro/cons ? Please explain to me and what you suggest me to use. Thanks a lot

I have installed Samba 4 and migrated from 3 using Debian-backports 
without problems, except, as commented, the missing DNS registries when 
you add an additional DC (I had to manually create them).

Consider that when Jessie reach stable Samba4 will come from Backports

My suggestion: If you use Debian, then, choose Backports
