Before I get into what type of directory is better to build let me explain what each is.
A General directory is one that has no focus and covers a wide variety of topics. They contain categories for everything… from art dealers to online Casinos. General directories like this include dmoz.org, google.com/dirhp, botw.org as well as dir.yahoo.com.
A Niche directory is one that is focused on one topic. Instead of having a bunch of general categories they include categories under one main niche. So for example a directory for photographers would have categories for different styles of photography, locations photographers are in, specialized photographic services etc. The directory is focused solely on photographers and that is it, nothing more.
