Hmm, seems to me using both is optimal

horrible psuedocode follows...

  cryptchoice = len(username) % 3

  switch cryptchoice:
     case 0:
       pepper = pepper[1]
       salt = email

     case 1:
       pepper = pepper[0]
       salt = creation_time
       
     case 2:
       pepper = pepper[2]
       salt = username
       
  bcrypt(salt+password+pepper)

What can someone use as a salt that is unique to a user that would not be in that record as plain-text and guess-able? Creation timestamp? email? username?
