The main thing about postcode data, as with any other data, is that it must have been collected by you. If you know a given street's postcode, then by all means add it (and get a GPS fix and add that to FreeThePostcode) but don't take a load of postcodes from your SatNav and add them! There is a postal_code tag, which I've started using for postcodes - this could obviously be useful for SatNavs and the like. The difficulty I find is that I'm never sure if an entire street has the same postcode - some have different postcodes for different sections. That's not an issue for FreeThePostcode [1], since it stores the postcode for a specific location.
