I would say it depends on if you are 'displaying' usernames in a forum or on
articles or something like that.  If so, go with usernames, but use email /
password for identity and uniquness.

> Lets say I have an application where people will sign in to get access to
some resources. The signin uses a standard username/password. What do you
feel is best for a username? Many sites use the persons email address while
others allow them to just write in some text. The only disadvantage of the
later method is that you have to make sure two different people do not have
the same username.
