Both have their own signicficance if you want to do Client side coding then its better to use html controls else at the server side you should have control which could render at server side so use asp control or html control with run at server

Using the HTML controls will give you more control over the resulting markup but certain options (such as manipulating a drop down list) are only available on the ASP.NET controls.

[DavidNohejl]

ASP.NET controls - classes from System.Web.UI.WebControls namespace - are meant as abstraction for controls that goes beyond simple HTML. Web controls are typically compound of lot of javascript, HTML and server-side logic. You use HTML controls - from namespace System.Web.UI.HtmlControls when you don't need that abstraction, when you just need to control HTML elements from server-side.
