what are the thoughts on when you should create a user defined tag vs a module?

With user defined tags you can realize shorter projects which you can manage in admin panel.

Modules are the big brother, which need many files, configs and so other  :) ...

Yeah, if it's a simple little function.  Like the contact form posted earlier or displaying some dynamic text, a user-defined tag is the way to go.

If you need multiple pages or a database or an admin and all kinds of hooks into the CMSMS core, then the module is your best bet.
