    I'm just looking for an opinion here.

    I use WordPress as often as I can for small business websites based on it's ease of use when it comes to organizing and displaying company products.

    I have always use categories and posts within those categories to organize large numbers of products.

    Generally, can anyone give me a solid reason to use pages and page children instead?

    Thanks a bunch!

    Nope....

    I would think posts/cats is teh way to go

    Although since I put my shop onto an already existing website which used cats and tags, I set up a custom post type for my products, and custom taxonomies to categorize and tag my products

    But the concept is the same

    The only thing that really separates the two methods is post/cats show up in rss right?

    How about querying custom page data. Wouldn't post/cats also be the easiest way to customize your queries? You have the use of archives and cat id's. Posts seem to be the way to go IMO.

    I'd still love to hear other opinions.
    Thanks!
