Laravel 5 application with Integrated Blogging – SEO

I am in the middle of designing a website which will be built on Laravel and include a blogging module.

At the moment I am trying to decide if I should either:

1) Install WordPress in a sub directory and handle the blogging through WP.
2) Write the code from scratch so the blogging module is purely built on Laravel.

I am aware that there may be other alternatives, and if any of you have had experience with them please point me in their direction.

If I were to opt for option 2. What would be some important considerations I should factor in before going ahead?

EDIT
By important considerations i mean this:

I am not overly bothered about time to implement. What I want to know is why would you choose a WordPress blog over a custom built blog from the customers point of view and SEO point of view. What does WordPress add to blog posts for example that I wouldn’t be able to do quite simply my self?

    Personally, I’d probably go with option #1 purely to save time, UNLESS:

    1. The template between the Laravel app and the WP Blog need to be the same, as updating BOTH templates for future changes (even just menu edits) gets annoying, or
    2. The two applications need to share users between each other.. cuz that would be a pain the butt to setup.

    Alternatively, I’m sure there’s some pre-built Laravel blog modules out there somewhere if you decided to go with option #2.

    If you need a deep integration of the blog into your project, I think it’s better to choose a Laravel solution, leaving WordPress.

    There are some well-made modules for blogging, for example Blogify, just search on the internet. Or buid it from your own.
