I believe tag filtering has better performance than property
filtering.  Also, I think that tags were initially designed/intended
primarily for filtering in agenda views (more wizened users can
correct me on both points).

Tags also have better visibility, as they are visible by default on
each heading line in the buffer and in the agenda.
