Using username.myapp.com means defining that name in your DNS and having
a separate virtual host definition in your apache config. 

Using myapp.com/username means having one virtual host, and no extra DNS
records. 

One is not necessarily better or worse than the other - to me it's
mostly about presentation and I would go for the myapp.com/username
option.  This (in my mind) puts "username" a level lower than "myapp",
whereas username.myapp.com does the opposite.
