Use the folder - it adds onto the overall SEO of your site. Search engines will see the subdomain as a separate site.

Thank you very much Scott and Ed for your help and suggestions.
Agreed with Draggar.
From SEO point of view I would go for the folder - domain.com/news
Hope this helps
Thanks
Just to add my two penneth, I would also go for folder
Actually in the short term, having domainname.com/subdomain is better but for a long term view having subdomain.domainname.com is better from my experience. Sure you will get rank and index SEO optimized quickly for /subdomain @ folder site but having a subdomain aside from the main site helps boost the mainsite rep among SERP optimisation. I have tested this before. However its up to you. Cheerio
look at Yahoo.com for an example...tech.yahoo.com, realestate.yahoo.com, groups.yahoo.com, shopping.yahoo.com, etc...
In my understanding, at least with GoDaddy, in order to setup subdomains, i.e. tech.yahoo.com, yahoo.com has to have a /tech folder with the subdomain site files in it. So it seems to me that it is actually the combination of both worlds that makes up the subdomain/foldering concept work...
