Tape is stronger and will resist the effects of water and time more effectively. Something most people don't get about why pro teams like using tape and/or elaborate gluing methods: the wheels and tires used by pros are subject to much more abuse than a typical amateur. Racing in tons of lots of mud and rain, powerwashing bikes multiple times per race, often with multiple riders on one team using the same wheels across the weekend, will dissolve glue fairly quickly. So tape might make sense for a set of mud tubulars, or for a particularly heavy rider, but it's overkill for most amateur racers. I'd set the over/under on the number of races I'm likely to start this season at 10. Hoping for the over, but anyway - even then, tape is overkill. Not worth the hassle of cleanup when I peel the tires to reglue a year from now.
