If I wanted to use www.domain.com/admin/users/edit/user_id would I need to use Controller subfolders or custom routes?

Either/or - it's up to you. I use a sub-folder within controllers, particularly for admin functions (where there are lots of sub-controllers all within the same section).

Subfolders will not effect yours URLs.
In your case, I would do some routing, because you don't want a method named users. passing a parameter edit - you want that to be a method itself.
Just setup up your route to point to 'admin/editusers'
Code:
class Admin extends Controller {
function editusers($id = NULL) {
}

Thanks for the replies guys
I wasn't sure if one option was better than the other. Seeing as I've not bothered with subfolders so far in the project, I think I'll go the routes way.
