Hey Drupal community,

Was hoping to get some feedback on if I should using CCK or taxonomy on a project I am working on.

I am working on a site which we want to display rankings for tennis players. They are broken down into the following geographical levels:
- Long Island (that's where the tennis magazine is based)
- Eastern (section of the country)
- National

Additionally, each list is further segmented by:
- Boys / Girls
- Singles / Doubles
- Ages 10, 12, 14, 16, 18

The rankings are updated monthly (or semi monthly in some cases). I am wrestling with if I should be using taxonomy OR CCK for the geographical levels and segments.

I appreciate any feedback or direction.

It depends, I guess. There is always more than one way to it.

If you choose CCK, you can also use taxonomies, with Content Taxonomy module, and maybe you have more features at a glance to add more attributes to your content types.

There's a module that allows you to add fields to taxonomies, Term Fields, but it is quite limited in D6. Also, unless you use freetagging, regular users cannot create more terms. This needs access to the admin area.

I think you could get more feedback using the development forums.

@markus_petrux: The Content Taxonomy module was VERY helpful. Thanks a bunch.
