Depends, both will work (just keep in mind a new module is not set to 
be exported per default if you plan to export the stuff). If regular 
users (i.e. not managers) need to edit say a stylesheet, I'll suggest 
that make a folder in the root rather than making a module - it is 
easier to navigate into these folders compared to have to dig down the 
modules hierarchy (you can still make a module which 'controls' these 
folders if you really need a module).

You'll have to let OpenCms feed the result of the <cms:link> to your 
javascript, e.g. in the JSP

function foobar() {
...
imageDir = <cms:link>/images/</cms:link>;
image = imageDir + "my_image.jpg";
...
}
