It makes sense to only want one index service running which is why I don't understand why GDS doesn't index Outlook categories - Google simply doesn't provide a viable alternative.

Taglocity tags are saved on items as categories. For example, you can enter this in a Windows Search box: tag:("to do" expense) and all your email tagged/categorized with 'to do' and 'expense' will show up in your search results. Last time I checked, you couldn't do this with GDS because it simply doesn't index Outlook categories.

If you want to experiment with Taglocity Search and WDS, here's a neat trick: After you run any search in Taglocity, you can hover your mouse over the Search Criteria label on the bottom left of the Taglocity Search window and see the equivalent WDS query. If you click on the label, the WDS query will be copied so that you can paste it into the Windows Search box to compare results.
