Use whatever authentication method you wish, but here's why we discourage ClientLogin in webappss:
1.) You need to deal with CAPTCHAs 2.) A users credentials are exposed to your app. From a security perspective, it's much better for them to input this information on a Google page rather than a third party app. 3.) ClientLogin tokens expire after ~2weeks. AuthSub/OAuth tokens do not expire.
