I don't think either one is a viable solution (and I say this as someone who once had a very nice consulting gig regularly resetting an office manager's password). One gives you hard-to-find weak passwords, the other gives you easy-to-find strong passwords (the stickynotes). While getting users to choose at least moderately strong passwords is important, so is hardening the system as a whole. So, too, is setting appropriate user privileges and access. That's definitely more work for IT, but it has the advantage of working, and not just forcing users to write their passwords in places you don't want to think about. Remember, we're talking about Jersey Shore fans here: they're not gonna memorize passwords or stars.
