I Agree with Earnie, cck + views would be the way to go with this, using taxonomy to categorize. This way you are building in a way that has the brightest upgrade future, as things look now -- CCK and views are going to become only more integrated with core as we move forward.

Quoting Fred Jones fredthejonester@gmail.com:
I want to allow businesses to create listings on my site. We have a set of custom questions and also categories. I then want to display the listings by category. We of course will need to approve of them before they are published.
I see the Simple classified ads module (http://drupal.org/project/ed_classified). Can this do what I need? Any tips on how to custom the fields there?
I recently had a look at this on a test site. It has the category controls you want but I don't know that it has the submission controls you want. You probably want to explore CCK and Views. These two are stated to give you the most flexibility with custom forming. I have yet to wrap my hands and head around them.
