Individual addresses are always preferable to interpolation lines, interpolation lines are just an approximation so if you have all the addresses in a block you shouldn't also have interpolation lines as the latter duplicates the former.
As for how to tag the addresses, if they're buildings with only one address I prefer put the addresses on the buildings. For more complicated situations with multiple addresses per building you'll often end up with points for addresses, and these points often also have shop information.

I have started adding some address data in my neighborhood but I am wondering if tagging buildings with an address is better or worse than digitizing address interpolation lines? http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=45.90249493718147 <http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=45.90249493718147&lon=-66.69308423995972&; zoom=18> &lon=-66.69308423995972&zoom=18 Thanks, Bernie
