Prefering wheel-based installation over source-based installation

See original GitHub issue

@pfmoore said: If we had a --prefer-binary option, that said “only use binaries, unless that means there are no candidates, in which case retry allowing source”, I suspect many of my concerns that over-eager upgrading would result in breakage might be alleviated.

This issue serves as a starting point for further discussion on this proposed --prefer-binary flag.
