I think it's almost always more desirable to write a taglib. It's just plain easier.
I second that. A provider is imho the way to go when and only when you will be treating generic non-XML resources (eg mailboxes) as if they were XML while they have document-like semantics, and a less interesting solution when you want to make something that isn't XML look like it is, even though the semantics of both sides differ widely and especially if the non-XML bits are in no way document-alike (eg a DB and lots of that horrible thing called SQL). But of course, you have to balance that with which you are most comfortable implementing and using within your particular context.
