SEO perspective

This fairly recent discussion [webmasterworld.com] may shed some light on that front.

From tedster's post

As far as ranking goes, it's really not going to matter in my view. A few years ago, subdomains were treated more like a separate website by Gogole, but not today. .......... So it's not worth any agonizing - just pick one and then develop as technically sound a system as you can muster.
