It's entirely up to you and your needs. If your "kinds" are
group-like, and it's possible for people to be in different groups,
then using groups might be appropriate. If it's as simple as "this
person is type X OR Y OR Z, then adding a choice field to your user
model may be appropriate.

The point is that in 1.5, your user model is entirely under your own
control. If you want your user to be compatible with Django's login
forms, or more importantly, the admin, there are some requirements you
need to meet, but these aren't too onerous.
