Both work just fine.

Is this in MVC? Simply loop over the data in the model.

Given that DataList, ListView and Repeater are all webform controls I think it's safe to say this is not MVC :)

Oops. Good point, ha.

No, its not in MVC.

The repeater gives best performance and flexibility so I always use that (never used a gridview\listview in my professional life), but you do end up having to do more of the work yourself so you need a better grasp on things. If you're getting started maybe stick to the gridview or listview until you have a greater understanding about what is happening.

Actually both will work perfectly, and it depends on what kind of design you are looking for.

I would suggest you to go through existing eCommerce site codes. from that you can decide, various open source codes available at
