TSV is better, because there is a MIME type for it.  You may not want
to make the output available via a web browser, but using TSV rather than
CSV means that you could if you wanted. 

Note that neither TSV nor CSV have any standardized way of handling
embedded carriage returns.  In fact, Microsoft Outhouse allows carriage
returns in data fields in its address book and includes those carriage
returns if you export the address book in TSV or CSV format - the only
problem is that Outhouse cannot import [TC]SV files that have embedded
carriage returns.  Did I say Outhouse?  I meant Outlook.  Or maybe I was
right the first time, and it's a crude repository for excrement...
