If I may say so... At least enought categories and sub-categories to fill-out the "mega drop". For a small to medium site, I wouldn't advice mega drop-down. They will suffer from not beeing "mega" enougth. @debadeep. Usually horizantal navivation bars are usually placed between header and content sections. So they as well come handy to visuablly separate those 2 UI elements and allow to keep the eye below the header section thus focus the user's attention on the content.

For more in-depth information on menu bars, beyond just thoughts on horizontal vs. vertical, check out "Mega Drop-Down Navigation Menus Work Well" by Jakob Nielsen, "Mr. Usability" himself.

What is your opinion about horizontal menu bars? Do you think they interfere with the standard F-pattern that users' eyes tend to follow? Interesting read.
