I use CATEGORIES mainly as a visual cue in my agenda to help categories
tasks.  Other than that it doesn't really do anything in my setup.

TAGS I use for context and other convenient filters for grouping tasks.
You can easily filter (removing or adding tasks) in the agenda by tag.

I use PROPERTIES for effort estimates, blocking control, recording when
tasks repeated last (for cyclic tasks) etc.

TODO states are for action items (TODO, NEXT, DONE, CANCELLED, WAITING
etc).

I would defined the SEQ_TODO in the file with #+TODO: TODO NEXT | DONE
(or whatever is appropriate for that file).  That overrides any global
todo settings.

All of my gory setup details are at http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html
