The debate about taxonomy versus folksonomy has been a hot topic for a while now. I think there is huge value in both disciplines and would recommend their collective use.....where the context lends itself well - this is the important part.
I don't see one being superior over another; it has to be dependent on the product, the context of that product and the users mental model of that product and its use - that has to be the focus - they are just vehicles in allowing users to complete their goals. Just Google taxonomy and folksonomy and you should get more than enough resource to write a compelling article. Let us know when you've finished it and how you got on.
