As always it is helpful to look at what David Lister wrote on this subject.
See his article 'To glue or not to glue' in the Lister List ... which is
oddly entitle Glue and Origami in the index.

There is also an article in the list on cutting:

I don't always agree with his opinions or conclusions ... but he provides
historical information on which an informed opinion can be founded.
