@TerryChia foolish child, not all filesystems use inodes.
@O'Niel not enough information. Depends a lot on existing context (how many users? what kind? intranet or internet? etc), selected architecture, identity format, security goals, etc.
e.g. consider an internal corporate website, with integrated authentication and impersonation, and you need to control all access to these files even outside of the webapp - then you would likely prefer a per-user folder, with appropriate ACLs set for each, contrary to what @TerryChia suggested.
