HTML Controls vs. Web Controls

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using HTML Server Controls over
Web Server Controls and vice versa? Is there a clear cut consensus among
ASP.NET developers over which controls to use?

Thanks

Use HTML Server controls (HTML control with "runat=server" added) when
migrating non-.NET forms to .NET.
Use Web Forms controls for new UI development that needs server-side
programmatic functionality.
Use HTML controls when no server-side functionality is needed.

In addition to Scott's post:
- Use HTML Server controls when you want full control over the HTML that is
rendered.
- Some HTML Server controls don't have a Web Server Control equivalent such
as the HtmlInputFile (upload) control
- HTML Server controls are slightly faster than Web controls.

HTML controls are light and simple, while Web Controls are full of extra
functionality.
