Maybe I'm not the right one to answer this question but,

to my knowledge (I only had a short look at it) toi_category offers a 
rather basic way of categorization. It introduces a new doktype 
"Category" instead of an own table for categories. As far as I know it 
only targets categorization of pages records.

tx_categories takes a more general (but also more complex) approach 
using an own table for categories and offering categorization of records 
from all sorts of tables without altering those tables.
