I suspect the 2nd option to be more "correct". Lists and tags are
semantically different:

      * In RTM a task can have any number of tags, but it can belong to
        only one list. This could be a problem when uploading tasks
        created in GTG to RTM (what happens if a task uploaded from GTG
        has multiple 'list tags' -- which RTM list should it actually go
        to?)
      * In GTG a task can have any number of tags, but only one parent
        task (except it can, if you know how to do it).

I suspect this was probably not much help...
