is it better to have your forum in a sub-directory or is it better to have it in a sub-domain from a SEO point of view? Or does it make no difference?

It does makes a lot of difference for search engines, if you put your forums in a subdirectory yourdomain.com/forums this is considered as 1 site, your forums belong to yourdomain.com only.
but if you use a subdomain search engines consider this as a completely different site forum.yourdomain.com
if you plan to add no. of more subdomains or features which are completely different from each other like a gallery, shop, download section, news system you have to consider appropriately what method you are going to use properly.
there are more advantages and less disadvantages of using directory over subdomains.
