That is probably the major difference here - my only concern was the 
quality of the resulting data in the OSM database.

It is a bit like when you do a poll - if you ask 'Do you agree with 
opinion A or do you have a different opinion' you will get a bias 
towards A compared to when asking neutrally 'What is your opinion on 
the matter'.

Assuming you are right and 85 percent of the places are actually 
place=hamlet you would probably get about 87-90 percent of the nodes 
tagged as such in the database if you default to place=hamlet.
