Remember the following when making the decision:

Private-vlans are not available on 3550s.

Private-vlans are available on 3560.

To use private-vlans, the switch must be configured in transparent mode, and
since the current versions of VTP that are supported on 3560s (version 1 and
2) do not propagate private-vlans info, they need to be configured on all
switches involved.

There are other ways to restrict communications between two hosts belonging
to the same VLAN, for example the "switchport protected" or "VACL" can also
do the trick.
