Rob, I think to a large extent, it comes down to personal preference. Putty offers a fuller set of features, while tio is very focused. It is a quick install and is only ~36kb in size. But, I think it is a user choice.
Yes, as Seth confirmed. You will need to enable the EPEL repo for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. However, it is available in the standard repos on distributions such as Fedora (dnf install tio) and Ubuntu (apt install tio).
