Just of the top of my head...
Pro tag:
You can have different artwork per file
the artwork goes wherever your files go

Con Tag:
file sizes are larger for each file

Pro folder.jpg:
windows explorer gives you nifty folder icons when you browse the  
filesystem
less overall drive usage with just one file per album

For best universal support, my own setup has artwork in tags, a  
folder.jpg, cover.jpg (fastest find for slimserver when tags fail), then
a 100x100 cover.bmp so that I get cover art on my Sansa E260 using  
the rockbox firmware.
