I've had drupal installed in a directory for 3 years or so and haven't come across any problems with any of the modules or anything in that time. The only thing which doesn't seem to work is the login thing to other drupal sites.
I've recenly had issues with Drupal running in a subdirectory. I've moved the installations to root and it has fixed almost all of the problems. Drupal's installation should have no requirments on which is better or easier to use. I liked having it in a subdirectory as it kept my file system cleaner. I've noticed, however, that many of the sites i have running on root seem to run smoother than the subdirectory ones. These are all on the same backboned web server using the same host settings, so perhaps it's just an issue with my server.
It really is up to you as I've, for the most part, haven't had issues with either. It's more of a choice of preference.

Well, it does not work with certain modules such as the Global redirect. I'm considering moving my drupal to root directory... but i'm concerned that many other things will be affected in the process. Anybody here knows of other module conflicts?

Subdirectory
Its possible to install in a subdirectory, but you will find some modules don't parse the links correctly.
eg
If your site url was set to
www.somesite.com/drupal
Certain modules will ignore this and use www.somesite.com/ instead for links
For the most part things will work though.

File bug reports
If you ever find such behaviour, file an issue against the module. Similar for multi-site vs single site configuration.
