'wiedermal' is colloquial and sounds like 'wieder einmal' (once again). It can simply sound casual, but it can also show that you have experienced something often before and may be annoyed. If you want to stay neutral, use 'erneut'. If you want to sound more personal or slightly annoyed in everyday speech, 'wiedermal' fits.
