I think using tags as a means of identification is a bad idea because that doesn't allow much freedom to change tags around. Both you're tagging methods seem fine and as you said are (almost) the same for the package manager. Adding tags would certainly be nice however it gets used, to answer the question that the thread asks I'd say that Tags vs. categories is apples vs. oranges, the real question should be categories vs no categories (and perhaps another question, tags vs no tags).
