Definitly CSS. CSS can handle just about anything, and is way more organized as far as code goes (I just recommend that you make a stylesheet page.)

There's a big CSS hype going on at the moment. A lot of people will tell you it is bad to use tables and they should be avoided at all times. Those people are only following the hype and are mostly 14 year olds thinking they are webdesign masters. There's nothing wrong with tables, it's better to have a good design with tables than a bad CSS based page. I've seen a lot of big websites lately which have some layout problems since they switched to CSS. If you want to go that way you better know what you're doing or just stick to tables. Search-engines don't care if you use tables or CSS. Check out some major websites (ie. Microsoft, IBM, Google, etc.) They all use tables, if tables work for them they will be just fine for my websites!
(there's only ONE thing that should be avoided at all times in any programming language: GOTO)

Tables were meant for presenting data in well... tables. I am sure that they are not meant for laying out and building your whole site with tables. I just say that CSS is more versatile and that they are easier to manipulate than tables.

Tables should only be used for tabular data.
For everything else, there's mastercard, i mean CSS.

Tables are primarily designed to be used to display tabular data... in the webs infancy most new media designers or web designers came from the print media, the easiest way for them to design was to make an image and cut it off in table cuts or in parts and the table was exploited from its original purpose. The early designers found a way to do designs easily and repeatable... Thats why then CSS was concieved, it was designed primarily for design, to format how a page will look... If you are comfortable with tables then by all means use it, but if your a beginner and want to start making pages, then learn CSS, I know how to use both, use the appropriate tool for the job...
