the number of subaddresses is not limited anymore
Feb 23, 2017 at 20:00 comment added janowitz You should use disposable addresses only for one transaction, since they have to include an unencrypted payment ID, which will be visible for everyone on the blockchain. So if you use a disposable address for multiple transactions like donations or other referring payments, even with RingCT anyone can trace at least how many payments you got. Subaddresses however act like any other normal address and have their payment IDs encrypted on the blockchain.
