GridView vs DataList vs Repeater vs ListView

Question

Hello all,

I have read some articles about this matter... and it seems that the Repeater is the one with best performance as explained in this other question:

I know that the GridView is the heaviest of them all, and that it weights a lot in the ViewState. So the DataList has been the "best" option for some situations.

But how about Datalist performance vs ListView?

Also, the GridView has a Pager already built in... and it seems that the ListView has one to. But if it create a pager for the DataList... will it become heavier than the GridView? And how about DataList + Paging vs ListView with Paging?

Thx in advance.
