Best way to use ASP

[onetomany]

I know of a couple of different ways to use ASP.

1.ASP pages written with Interdev or similar software(Server side code and HTML Intermingled.

2.DLL used to write out ASP using Scripting Context Object

3.VB Web classes


I have a couple of questions about the different methods?
Any thoughts on the strengths and faults of each method?

Any recomendations or opinions on which method is the best and why?

Are there certain circumstances when one method is superior to the others?What would these be?

Are there any alternative methods to the ones I have listed?

Any input would be appreciated.
