It depends which is easier on the layout. Sometimes I tweak and sometimes I make my own. It's super-easy to make a text path in PS. (1) Make a new layer. (2) Choose the pen tool and draw a closed path where you want your text. You can also do it with the shapes, just make sure "paths" is selected (the picture with the four connected dots and the pen inside) on the top bar. (3) Click on the text tool. (4) If you're trying to fill your shape with text, then click inside the shape (you'll see the cursor change); if you're trying to type on the outside of the path then click on the path and start typing.
I hope that made sense; I probably should have used a screenshot, but was too lazy to upload one.
