Solution 2

Code First is a mode that Entity Framework works in. It is something to implement a web site. Entity Framework is an Object Relational Mapping tool. It automates a lot of the work to save data model objects to a database and reconstitute them back into objects from the database.

Entity Framework can be used in lots of different application types, including ASP.NET/MVC.

ASP.NET/MVC is used to write websites.

There is no "best", there is only what's more appropriate given the situation and requirements.

Again, Code First is a mode that Entity Framework runs in. They are not separate frameworks doing the same thing.

If you've never done any Entity Framework stuff before, I would not recommend going straight to defining 50 tables in it and jumping in. Get a couple of books on Entity Framework and Code First first and work through them. You're going to need it.

You don't have to use Entity Framework. You can use any ORM library you want. You can even skip using an ORM and just write your own database handling code yourself.

There's a ton of different options. What's going to work best for you is up to you and you're requirements. There is no "best".
