Just a point of clarification. Panels will down render to tables for some
browsers. I know in 1.x, they would (incorrectly) down render to tables for
firefox by default...I'm pretty sure that's fixed in 2.0, but I'm sure there
are browsers out there that will cause the same to happen.
I'm not sure if that makes panels better or not mind you...just different.

Robert,
Faster? Not particularly, since they both render as a Div. The server
control is there to provide you with design-time and server-side
programming
conveniences. If using a runat=server div floats your boat better, have
fun.
