    It doesnt make much difference really. Google will treat the sub domain as a seperate site from the main domain whereas a different directory will be treated as an internal part of the site. In search results the sub domain will be shown as a different site than the main domain, the directory will be shown as a sub section of the main site.....Does that make sense?

    Both methods have advantages and disadvantages. If its an established site then the directory method would most likely get spidered and cached quicker because it will be seen as updated content of your existing site.
