I think it depends on what kind of processing one needs to do on tag/ field values. The advantage of a field is that it can hold a value out of a set of values eg field named color can have a value of red, green, blue etc. A tag is a single value attached to a tiddler. So if your code needs to check what color has the user selected you would use a field. But if your code needs to check whether or not user has selected/chosen a particular color like green, you'd use a tag. About the speed of TW, I might be wrong but i suspect that if you leave fET and use inlinejavascript plugin it might be faster, cos fET adds a middle level between the command and execution.But I can't say for sure.
