position:absolute or floats?

I'm only interested in rendering properly in Opera, FF and IE6/7. I have a
choice in creating a page with three columns of unequal height. I'm working
on a page that's currently using absolute positioning. I normally use
floats. Is/are there any benefits or reasons for employing one over the
other?
